BY NADYA ELLERHORST Staff Writer. Walking on South College Avenue, I've often noticed a silver food cart shining in the distance near Purnell Hall on Amstel ...
The service is also wonderful, with the friendly individual running the cart willing to answer all of my questions. He proceeded to warm up the pita right in front of me, filling it with lettuce, tomato and chicken, which appeared to be cooked with onions and various spices (you can also get fresh onion on your gyro, but I passed). Passing the cart on my way, I caught a glimpse of the word โgyro.โ My curiosity โ and palate โ were piqued.
This recipe for lamb gyros beats anything you'll get from the takeaway. Tender pulled lamb, tzatziki and salad all stuffed into a a wrap = food heaven.
- Remove the meat from the slow cooker and use two forks to pull the meat apart. Cover with a lid and cook on high for 4 hours or until the lamb is pull apart tender. This recipe uses half a [lamb shoulder](https://www.delish.com/uk/cooking/recipes/a28934142/best-roast-lamb-recipe/), which is a great way to eat [lamb](https://www.delish.com/uk/cooking/recipes/g30750497/lamb-recipes/) on a budget. - In a large bowl, add the lemon zest, garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt and olive oil. Stir to combine then add the lamb. This beauty is Greek [street food](https://www.delish.com/uk/cooking/recipes/a40527451/street-food/) classic, but this recipe brings it to your table with minimum effort and without pulling on those purse strings.
