Anchored by ground lamb, garlic and dried oregano, this Mediterranean dish starts by mixing the ground lamb with the garlic and comes together in about 45 minutes -- the kind of medium recipe that earns a permanent spot in the rotation.

A 45-minute cook time that's mostly hands-off simmering or roasting.

A few technique steps to focus on, but nothing that needs special equipment.

Built around ground lamb, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb (680 g) ground lamb
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • plus 5 more ingredients

Method

Mix the ground lamb with the garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Knead it well for a minute so it holds together (this gives the gyro its dense texture).
