Wanted Gyro type fatty

[pahutchens]

Anyone have recipes?
I really enjoy Mideastern cuisine and was thinking of something along the lines of a gyro fatty made with lamb etc...

Suggestions?

How about a tzatziki filled lamb sausage, but mix in some cream cheese and feta to firm it up a bit?
Oh, and definitely add mint to the rub you develope.

I've done the Alton Brown Gyro recipe on my gasser's rotisserie before. It turned out very good.

The recipe can be found HERE (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/gyro-meat-with-tzatziki-sauce-recipe/index.html)

I like the idea of using tzatziki as a filling. Maybe some olives and feta? or maybe some haloumi (a cheese used for grilling) or labneth (strained yoghurt, like tzatziki but without any of the other stuff)

Good luck and I look forward to some Pr0n!

Aren't most gyros in the US made with sausage? Aren't they essentially super large fatties already? I will tell you one of the best street snacks I ever had was a lamb and pork sausage patty with oregano, mint, rosemary in the mix. There was also garlic.

I would think a meat mix like that, then rolled in dried herbs such as Todd's Dirt or similar. I don't think it needs to be filled, but, a dolmades filling is intriguing as an idea. A sticky rice filling maybe, add some fruit like raisins in, some pine nuts maybe...

Dates and figs would be good.

I did a lamb gyro meatloaf (pretty much the same as a fatty). It made great gyros.

On Tuesday or Wednesday I did a 2 lb fatty with ground lamb - stuffed it with Mozzarella and Parm, diced green onions, and a little cilantro. I worked in salt, pepper, and garlic powder before rolling and finally, smoked with hickory.

It tasted like really good summer sausage - kinda strange but it was good.
