EASY LAMB AND BEEF KABOBS OR GYROS
I wanted gyro meat that tasted like the kind in the Greek restaurants. I wound up combining ingredients from 3 different recipes and was amazed at the awesome result! It smelled so good even before it hit the grill.The "easy" part is that you can just throw this on the grill, broil, bake or pan fry it. It's also easy because I buy the Tzatziki sauce, Quinoa tabouli, spanikopita appetizers and hummus at Costco and I have a ready-made meal for my family or a larger crowd. I also serve with split Pita breads and we make our own gyros with sliced garden tomato and sweet onion.

Steps:
- Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes while you prepare the meat mixture.
- In a large bowl, combine all the other ingredients. Mix well with hands (use rubber gloves).
- Dry off the skewers so they aren't dripping wet, then form an oblong "sausage" around the skewer, securing firmly.
- Cover and refrigerate skewered meat for 30 minutes.
- If possible, use a veggie or fish grill (that has a smaller grate); brush or spray grill grate with oil.
- Set grill to medium-off-medium and grill each side for 5 minutes, turning only once, or until the outside of the meat is charred and the inside is medium.

TRADITIONAL GYRO MEAT
This Greek/Lebanese style meatloaf is sliced and served with pita bread, tzatziki, and tomatoes for a delicious gyro that is the closest I've come to emulating my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. The preparation time seems long, but most of it is resting time, so you can be doing other stuff! You can substitute pork or chicken for the ground lamb and beef if you prefer.

Steps:
- Place the onion in a food processor, and process until finely chopped. Scoop the onions onto the center of a towel, gather up the ends of the towel, and squeeze out the liquid from the onions. Place the onions into a mixing bowl along with the lamb and beef. Season with the garlic, oregano, cumin, marjoram, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well with your hands until well combined. Cover, and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Place the meat mixture into the food processor, and pulse for about a minute until finely chopped and the mixture feels tacky. Pack the meat mixture into a 7x4 inch loaf pan, making sure there are no air pockets. Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the loaf pan on the towel, inside the roasting pan, and place into the preheated oven. Fill the roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the loaf pan.
- Bake until the gyro meat is no longer pink in the center, and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) on a meat thermometer, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Pour off any accumulated fat, and allow to cool slightly before slicing thinly and serving.

LAMB AND BEEF KABOBS
A lemon-olive oil marinade gives these tasty kabobs a nice tang. They're great for summer parties. In bad weather and during the winter, we cook them in a 400-degree oven for 25 to 40 minutes. -Weda Mosellie, Phillipsburg, New Jersey
