Yesterday we had gyros for dinner.  They are pretty easy to make.  My husband found an inexpensive cut of lamb, chopped it in bite sized chunks, and browned them in a frying pan.  Lamb renders plenty of fat, and as I understand it, traditional gyro sandwiches are made with fatty meats.  Our meat wasn’t cooked on a vertical spit, therefore, not authentic gyro, but delicious neverltheless.  He made a Greek style salad with chopped tomatoes, artichoke hearts, sliced sweet onions, and yellow peppers, cubed English cucumber, black olives and a few leaves of dark greens.  The vinaigrette had a pinch of dry oregano.  Since we didn’t have plain yogurt on hand, he made a delicious taziki sauce with mayonnaise and a little went a long way.  With the boys dining at friends’ houses, there was plenty for us to indulge….this meal is a top 10!  We used store bought pita bread (white and wheat) and although they aren’t as good as homemade, they’ll do.  Try to find them fresh, otherwise you’ll find your gyro sandwich in a pile on your plate.
