I always enjoy Gyros from my favorite restaurants and have always wanted to make them at home. You don’t even need a rotisserie. This is a great recipe to make lamb gyros with no rotisserie. Instead, the lamb is baked in the oven meatloaf style, sliced, and then placed under the broiler for a couple of minutes to crisp the edges. The lamb is mixed with ingredients such as garlic, onion, and fresh thyme and then processed in a blender. I found the flavor of the meat to be spot on with what I typically get from restaurants. The meat is placed into a loaf of pita bread or naan and then topped with yogurt sauce, chopped onion, and diced tomato. Enjoy.
