We love gyros, though we now leave out the veal and use straight lamb since the flavor really stands up to the spices. A true gyro has a cucumber Greek yogurt sauce that really adds to the flavor experience.

mrobisr indeed! That is the tzatziki sauce that I list, and the white stuff you can see there smeared on the pita, and in the container I make it from homemade strained greek yogurt.

Here, I made a new thread with my recipe and pics for tzatzike sauce for you, to make this thing more complete

Duuuuuude! I’m so excited to find this. We LOVE gyros but have been basically reliant on whenever Sam’s Club gets in the frozen pre-made meat since our grocery stores stopped carrying any for some aggravating reason. It’s now been months since our Sam’s has had anything.

I gotta give this a go. Thank you!

AdamusLignus I’m sure you’ll do it proud, your pictures of your cooks always look great

[AdamusLignus]

Dave in AZ Thanks, man, I try! Now I just have to find some “cheap” lamb to grind or maybe score some pre-ground stuff.

[Dave in AZ]

AdamusLignus Cheapest lamb I have found is the 1 lb ground lamb packs that Safeway and Kroger/Frys have. Those are usually NOT in meat section, but in frozen specialty foods. Usually $7 for 1 lb. And once in a while they have lamb that doesnt sell and mark it down, and I grab and freeze. Wierd… when I was a kid, my mom cooked lamb all the time because it was cheap!
