ROASTED LEG OF LAMB (GYROS)
Steps:
- Finely chop up 1/2 of the garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt. Mash the garlic and salt together with the flat-side of a knife into a paste. Add the oregano and continue to mash until incorporated. Put the garlic-oregano paste in a small bowl, add the lemon juice and 1 cup of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Slice the remaining garlic into thin slivers.
- Put the lamb on a large platter, and trim any excess fat. Cut the lamb in 1/2 lengthwise so you have 2 large pieces. Make slits all over the meat with a sharp knife, and push the garlic slivers inside. Rub 1/2 of the garlic-oregano paste all over the lamb and season the meat with salt and pepper. Roll up each piece of lamb lengthwise and tie with butcher's twine to hold the roasts together. Put the lamb on a large platter and slather with the remaining garlic-oregano paste. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Wipe off the excess paste from the lamb so it won't burn in the oven. Place a large roasting pan over 2 burners on medium-high flame and coat with a fair amount of olive oil. Put the lamb roasts in the roasting pan and sear to form a nice brown crust on all sides. Transfer the pan (and lamb) to the oven and roast for 1 to 1 1/2 hours; it should be pink in the center and the internal temperature reads 130 degrees F. Allow the lamb to stand 10 minutes to let the juices settle before and slicing.
- Cut off the butcher's twine and thinly slice the lamb. Place the meat in the center of the pita breads. Top with lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and tzatziki.
- Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and combine with a fork. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to marry.

Steps:
- Place onion in a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Transfer onion to a piece of cheese cloth and squeeze out the liquid. Place onion in a large bowl.
- Mix lamb, beef, garlic, oregano, cumin, marjoram, thyme, rosemary, black pepper, and salt with the onion using your hands until well mixed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend, about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Place meat mixture in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and tacky, about 1 minute. Pack meat mixture into a 7x4-inch loaf pan, ensuring there are no air pockets. Place loaf pan into a roasting pan and pour enough boiling water around the loaf pan to reach halfway up the sides.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Pour off any accumulated fat and cool slightly.
- Thinly slice the gyro meat mixture.
- Spread 1 tablespoon hummus onto each pita bread; top each with gyro meat mixture, lettuce, tomato, red onion, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce.

GYROS ROAST
Steps:
- Butterfly the lamb roast and cut into two pieces. Pound out the lamb with heavy mallet until each piece measures 12 x 14 inches or so. Combine the herbs along with the salt in a mortar and pestle crushing until fine in texture, but not a powder. Brush the top of the lamb pieces with olive oil and sprinkle 1/3 of the herb mixture. Work the herbs into the lamb with the tenderizer side of the mallet. Cover the entire top of the lamb pieces with the ground beef. Work another 1/3rd of the seasonings into the ground beef. Roll up meat tightly, securing with string. Brush the outside of the roll with olive oil and rub in the remaining herb/seasoning mixture. Marinate several hours, or overnight, if possible. Place roast in the center of the cooking grate, with a drip pan underneath containing a cup of water. Roast indirectly until internal temperature reaches 140°f., approximately one and a half hours. Turn roast every 30 minutes. Slice thin across the grain and serve on hard rolls, spooning or dipping in pan juices. Top meat with thinly sliced onions, tomato wedges, and tzatziki sauce (a Yogurt/cucumber sauce).

GRILLED BEEF GYROS
A spicy marinade adds zip to these grilled beef slices tucked inside pita bread. Friends from Greece gave us their recipe for the cucumber sauce, which provides a cool contrast to the hot beef. I never have to worry about leftovers when I serve these sandwiches. -Lee Rademaker Hayfork, California
