Gyro

Arguably one of the quintessential dishes in Greek cuisine is a Gyro, a traditional sandwich filled with spit-roasted lamb. I love the fresh aromatic Greek flavors, so I created this baby-friendly version for you – minus the sandwich part. It is delicious with Tzatziki and warm pita.

MAKE IT

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Lightly grease muffin pan with olive oil.

3. Combine ground lamb, garlic, onion, mint, marjoram, oregano, salt and pepper until well mixed.

4. Fill muffin tin with each portion, packing the muffin tin but not over filling them.

5. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until internal temperature of 170 - 175 degrees is reached.

6. Place gyro onto a rack to set for 10 minutes.

7. To serve, finely chop/mince meat and mix with some Tzatziki for baby or slice meat for tots and adults.

CLEAN IT

Growing your own herbs is easy and let’s you have total control of gardening practices. Whichever route you choose, always rinse herbs before using.

GREEN IT

Try to find a local source for lamb that is pasture raised and bought at a reputable butcher with very high standards like Whole Foods Market – because a lot of Organic Lamb is flown in from New Zealand.

MAKE IT FUN

Just the fact of cooking them in a muffin tray is fun – everyone will get a kick out of them! And if you overcook them, they make great hockey pucks (Just Kidding!)
