Greek Gyros

If you don't have a huge rotisserie or skewer, not to worry! You can make identical Gyro meat in your oven! Basically, a meatloaf. 

Ingredients!

1 small onion, finely chopped. 

1 pound ground lamb, beef, chicken, or pork. Usually a mix of lamb and beef is used.

2 cloves minced garlic

1 tablespoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon dried ground rosemary

2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 egg yolk

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

Mix onion with lamb or other meat, garlic, thyme, rosemary, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. If you have a food processor, use it. 

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Place the mixture into a greased or parchment-papered loaf pan, making sure to press into the sides of the pan. 

Place the loaf pan in a water bath and bake for 60-75 minutes. 

Remove from the oven and drain off any fat. Cover with aluminum foil. 

Place the loaf pan on a cooling rack and press it with some kind of weight, let it sit for 15 minutes or so. 

Slice and serve on pita, with onion, tomato, tzatziki, and stuff!
