Roasting the whole thing in a loaf pan with a cake rack under so the fat runs off. I use my trusty $25 kettle grill and Kingsford brickettes(at the lowest heat I can maintain) to get that roasted, crispy outside. I bet you get tons of marriage proposals! lol

Yes, I love yogurt with Indian dishes too and I am sure that this tzatziki would be great with it. Sounds yummy Leigh! Have a great time eating those Gyros in Leeds! Jane - I just ground the lamb myself in the food processor - so if you can get lamb at all, you can grind it yourself. Superluckykitchen - same for you, if you can just get lamb, you can grind ot at home in the food processor - that is whatI did - you can never find pre ground lamb here either! You are welcome Jen!

I've always been leery of gyros because of the "what's in the meat" factor, even though I love the taste. And now I can make them! Wooohooo! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you SO much!

That tzatziki is a great all-purpose recipe that would go well with so many dishes. I always have to have yogurt with anything vaguely Indian and this would be a wonderful choice.

That is a wonderful way to enjoy Tzatzkiki - with FRIES!!!! Hey Peter - thanks for the info! I got what you were saying about the meat part I was just wondering if there was some different way of serving or preparing - which there is and lots of different ways. I have never heard of a gyro with ketchup and mustard - but I always like when the ketchup from my great Greek Fries touch the gyro - such good stuff! Have a great time gyro-hunting in Toronto! Yes swirlingnotions! Tzatziki is like the food of the Gods. I know Jesse! I was so excited when I found this recipe! So true, Kate, Tzatziki goes with almost everything!!! Helen, I am with you on the Kebab thing - I am a sucker for them too. Yeah - it becomes like a meat paste. Very interesting stuff. I know Paula! It is true! Thanks, I am glad you liked the recipe!
