Como fazer Ground Lamb Gyros With Cucumber Yogurt Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. **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.
  3. Thoroughly mix the lamb mixture, kneading gently until well combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into a 7x4 inch loaf.
  5. Place the loaf on a wire rack set inside a baking pan to allow for drainage.
  6. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 180°F (82°C).
  7. Let the lamb loaf rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight.
  8. **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.
  9. Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  10. **Assemble the Gyros:** Slice the cooled lamb loaf into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
  11. Heat the lamb slices in a lightly oiled grill pan over medium-low heat until warmed through.
  12. Warm pita bread in the oven (wrapped in foil) at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through.
  13. Place the warmed pita bread on plates and top with the heated lamb, sliced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
  14. Generously spoon the cucumber-yogurt sauce over the gyros.
  15. Serve immediately and enjoy!
