Loaded Lamb Gyros with Grilled Garlic Tzatziki
Method
- Heat BBQ grill to medium-high. Wrap garlic head in foil and place into the closed BBQ to start cooking while the BBQ preheats. Cook garlic for 15-20 minutes until soft when squished with some tongs. Allow to sit aside until cool enough to handle.
- In a small bowl, mix together the oregano leaves, garlic powder, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Place lamb in a large dish and coat in the marinade, massaging into the meat. Allow to marinate for 1 hour at room temperature if you have the time.
- Place the marinated lamb straight onto the grill. Cook for 10 minutes on each side, remove, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- While the meat is resting, remove the skins from the garlic flesh and mash with a fork until pureed. Add to a bowl with the remaining ingredients for the Grilled Garlic Tzatziki. Mix well to combine.
- With the BBQ still on, place pitta onto the BBQ grill for 1-2 minutes on each side until warm and slightly charred but not crispy. Remove and brush with the melted butter.
- To serve, slice the lamb into thin 0.5cm slices. Assemble your gyros with a generous spoon of the Grilled Garlic Tzatziki, the lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and onion. Top with some juicy pieces of lamb.
