Servings
4
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 0.5 cup very finely chopped (or shredded) onion
- 2 tsp fresh minced garlic
- 0.8 tsp salt (preferably sea salt)
- 0.5 tsp dried ground marjoram
- 0.5 tsp dried ground rosemary
- 0.3 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Mix everything together and let sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

Blend in a food processor for about 1 minute. (When cooked, this will help give it a more traditional gyro feel on your palate.

Otherwise, it just takes like cooked minced meat.) Form into an oblong around a spit, and slow cook over a grill for around 30-45 minutes, cooking far from the coals, and rotating slowly.

Alternatively, bake in the oven in a meatloaf shape for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, at 325 degrees F.
