Last week we bought a boneless leg of lamb just because it sounded good. We stuck it in the oven and had a fabulous roast dinner on Thursday night. It wasn't until I was cleaning up and stowing away the leftovers that I realized we bought a giant hunk of meat for two people. So instead of having regular repeat leftover dinners, Thomas came up with gyros! Gyros are sort of a Greek "lamb sandwich" and whenever we have them they're hot, quick and fabulous. So we gave them a try.
It was simple. Shave thin slices from the leftover lamb and warm. Chop a tomato. Stuff it all in a warm pita and top with a simple yogurt sauce. We used this one from cooks.com.
Gyros Sauce
1/2 c grated cucumbers
1 c plain yogurt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Squeeze cucumbers after grating. Blend with yogurt and garlic powder. Refrigerate to cool.
They were so delicious we made them for lunch on Saturday and Sunday in between busy backyard projects. I hope there's enough in the fridge for another round for lunch today!
