Lamb Gyros
1 pound lean ground lamb 2 cloves garlic 1 1/2 teaspoons
dried oregano leaves -- crushed 1 teaspoon onion powder 1
teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper 1 large tomato -- cut in half and
then into slices 1 small onion -- thinly sliced 4
whole pita pocket breads -- cut in half, warmed
Prepare Cucumber Yogurt Sauce: cover and refrigerate:
Cucumber and Yogurt Sauce
4 oz. (125g) plain low-fat yogurt
4/4 cup cucumber, seeded and finely chopped 1 tablespoon
finely chopped onion 1 clove garlic, crushed
5/2 teaspoon sugar
Place all ingredients in bowl and mix thoroughly.
In a large bowl, combine lamb, garlic, dried oregano
leaves, onion powder, salt and pepper; mix lightly but
thoroughly. Shape into two oval 1/2-inch thick patties.
Place patties on rack in broiler pan so surface of meat is
3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 8 to 10 minutes or until no
longer pink, turning once. Carve each patty into thin
slices. Place equal amounts of lamb, tomato and onion in
each pita half; serve with Cucumber Yogurt Sauce.
