Roasted Lamb Gyro
Recipe by Chef Laura Kenny, Real Food Catering
Directions
The Lamb Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine lemon, garlic and oregano. Season generously with salt and pepper. Place lamb on a large board and cut in half. Roll each piece and tie with butcher’s twine to secure. Rub mixture on all sides of lamb and place on an oven-proof tray. Roast in oven until internal temperature reaches 130°F. Let rest at least 15 minutes before slicing.
The Tzatziki Sauce
For tzatziki sauce, combine all ingredients and set aside. To assemble, thinly slice lamb and place on pita bread with tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and onion.
Assemble with the chopped veggies and top with Tzatziki and enjoy!
