So I have all this ground lamb, which ordinarily I don’t care for, I’m trying to think of ways to pep it up and make it interesting. \u00a0Hmm, sez I, I do like gyros, maybe I could make a gyro burger?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So I scour the internets for recipes and find a few that look interesting. \u00a0Here’s what I ended up blending into a pound of ground lamb:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 1\/2 teaspoons oregano<\/strong><\/div>\n
1 teaspoon dried mint<\/strong><\/div>\n
1 teaspoon thyme<\/strong><\/div>\n
1\/2 teaspoon basil<\/strong><\/div>\n
1\/2 teaspoon marjoram<\/strong><\/div>\n
1\/2 teaspoon minced onion<\/strong><\/div>\n
1\/2 teaspoon minced garlic<\/strong><\/div>\n
1 \u00a0squirt of lemon juice<\/strong><\/div>\n

\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
I let it stew in the ice box for 4 hours, before shaping into 1\/3 pound patties and tossing them in the cast iron.<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/strong> <\/strong>After the requisite amount of time, I plated one, cut it in half to look at, before taking a bite.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I would say………….(drum roll)…………….REMINISCENT of a gyro, but not quite on the mark. \u00a0Too herby, not enough depth. \u00a0I think if I doubled the ingredients, that would have a more significant effect on the flavor, but it wasn’t what I was looking for. <\/strong><\/div>\n
Do you have a different gyro seasoning recipe? \u00a0If so, please share it!<\/strong><\/div>\n
