Comment préparer Ground Lamb Gyros With Cucumber Yogurt Sauce
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Prepare the Lamb Loaf:** In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground lamb, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup milk, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried mint, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Thoroughly mix the lamb mixture, kneading gently until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into a 7x4 inch loaf.
- Place the loaf on a wire rack set inside a baking pan to allow for drainage.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 180°F (82°C).
- Let the lamb loaf rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight.
- **Prepare the Cucumber-Yogurt Sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup diced cucumber, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp white pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint.
- Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- **Assemble the Gyros:** Slice the cooled lamb loaf into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
- Heat the lamb slices in a lightly oiled grill pan over medium-low heat until warmed through.
- Warm pita bread in the oven (wrapped in foil) at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
- Place the warmed pita bread on plates and top with the heated lamb, sliced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
- Generously spoon the cucumber-yogurt sauce over the gyros.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
