Recipe Time! - Gyro loaf and Tzatziki sauce

Alrighty! It's recipe Monday!

Today we are making Greek gyro loaf and tzatziki sauce.

For those who might not be able to read this, the ingredients are:

Gyro loaf

1 lb lean beef (I like 90/10)
1 lb ground lamb
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 medium onion, grated
3 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt & pepper

Tzatziki sauce

1 cup greek yogurt
1/3 cup cucumber, grated and squeezed til dry
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon dill
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
salt & pepper

Gyro Directions

Mix olive oil and breadcrumbs together and allow to soak for 15 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, put all ingredients and mix until well-combined and reaches pate-like consistency.

Once desired texture is reached, spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and spread mixture evenly inside pan.  Make sure to press into the corners and spread evenly - its gotta cook evenly!

Bake at 350F degrees for one hour or until internal temperature reaches 180F.

Let rest in the pan for 15 minutes. Slice and enjoy with tzatziki sauce:

Directions:
Mix it all together. season with salt and lemon juice to taste.

Really...its not that hard.

This is what the wife and I are having for lunches this week - a wrap with 4 oz meat, tzat sauce, onion, tomato and spinach.  Delicious delicious stuff!

Keep on walkin!
