Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground lamb
- 0.5 medium, grated Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 8 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 medium, diced Tomatoes
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Cucumber
- 0.25 medium, thinly sliced Red onion
- 100 g, crumbled Feta cheese
- 200 g Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp, chopped Fresh dill
- 1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and transfer the meat mixture into the pan, pressing down to form an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the gyro meat is cooked through and lightly browned on top.
While the meat is cooking, wash the romaine lettuce leaves and pat dry. Arrange them on a cutting board or serving tray as your low-carb wraps.
Prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, chopped dill, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Once the gyro meat is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
To assemble the wraps, place a few slices of gyro meat onto each lettuce leaf, followed by diced tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, and crumbled feta.
Drizzle with tzatziki sauce, then fold the lettuce around the filling to form a wrap. Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb classic gyro wrap!
