Bought 4 legs of lamb at $4/lb a couple months ago on super sale and wanted to grind one up to try multiple gyro recipes to compare. Finally had some time to give it a go. My wifey told some peeps what I was doing at volleyball so feeding us 2 turned into 8 so I was too busy for camera pics. I didn't plan on posting this cook but my wife took some photos with her phone so I thought I'd throw it up here.

One of the recipes called for 4 patties and bacon or pork fat in between and wrapped overnight.

Loafed one of the recipes.

Roti'd 2 of them. 1 was just ground and the middle was sliced. I lost the one closest in the grill which was too bad cause that was my favorite of the 4.

Held them warm in the crocks(one is out of shot). Had sliced onion, tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce for toppings.

Sorry no plate shot since I was busy messing around with all the different cooks going on. 3 of the 4 were good, the loafed recipe lacked flavor. My favorite was Kenji's(seriouseats). I think from now on I'll do that one unless I stumble upon a better recipe. Love me some gyros!
