Zubereitung von Gyro Meat And Tzatziki Sauce
- **Prepare the Onions:** Finely chop 1 large onion using a food processor for 15 seconds. Place in a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer; squeeze out and discard excess liquid.
- **Combine Gyro Meat Ingredients:** In the food processor, combine the drained onion with 1 lb ground lamb, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp dried marjoram, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper. Process for 1-2 minutes until a smooth paste forms.
- **Bake the Gyro Meat (Meatloaf Method):** Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Transfer the meat mixture to a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Place the pan in a larger baking dish filled with about 1 inch of hot water (water bath). Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 165-170°F (74-77°C).
- **Rest and Slice:** Remove from oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
- **Prepare Tzatziki Sauce:** Place 1 cup plain Greek yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined strainer; suspend over a bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to drain excess whey.
- **Prepare Cucumber:** Finely chop ½ cup cucumber. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
- **Combine Tzatziki Ingredients:** In a bowl, combine the drained yogurt, squeezed cucumber, 1 clove minced garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp white wine vinegar, 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint, and ½ tsp salt. Mix well.
- **Assemble Gyros:** Serve the sliced gyro meat on warm pita bread. Top with tzatziki sauce, thinly sliced red onion, tomato slices, and crumbled feta cheese.
