Ingredients

Scale

For the Lamb Gyro

  • 1 lb (450g) ground lamb or thinly sliced lamb
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lemon

For the Creamy Garlic Feta Sauce

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 large garlic clove, grated or minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons warm water (to thin as needed)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup diced cucumber
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Lamb: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the ground lamb along with oregano, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the lamb is browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Make the Creamy Garlic Feta Sauce: In a bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add warm water gradually, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a drizzle-friendly consistency.
  3. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice or quinoa evenly among serving bowls. Top each with the cooked lamb gyro mixture. Add shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion on top.
  4. Serve: Drizzle the creamy garlic feta sauce generously over each bowl. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately to enjoy the full flavors of the dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground lamb with thinly sliced lamb for a different texture.
  • Use quinoa instead of rice to make the bowl gluten-free.
  • Adjust the garlic quantity in the sauce based on your preference for garlic intensity.
  • The creamy feta sauce can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • For extra tang, add a sprinkle of sumac or a few olives to the bowl.
