I just made some tzatziki. Never made it before, so I hope it turns out good. The plan is to use some of that leftover lamb roast in pita wraps with tzatziki, onion, and tomato. A field greens salad with leftover blue cheese dressing on the side.

I'll put the lamb on the turntable in the microwave to heat it. Then it really will be gyros.Gyros without the gyration
Sauce is coming along great...
We have a meeting of our dinner club tonight. The theme is Italian. I put together a cold antipasto platter, and am now working on a couple of warm items to bring along, too.

I decided to forgo the baked potato and good thing I did, I was stuffed as it was
I had three pieces of prime rib left over. I think I'll slice one thin for steak sandwiches later today.

I found two recipes for tzatziki by Greeks. They were very, very similar. Now I know why Greeks consider it a meze or salad, and not a sauce. It had a lot more cucumber than what we are used to. Stirling said it was about the max amount of cucumber he is willing to eat - he doesn't like cucumber. I ate some of it as a salad. I should also have let it sit longer before we ate it. I only gave it an hour, which was how long the other Greek recipe said. It's much tastier this morning.We love that stuff...hope it works out

Taxy, could you PM me the tzatziki recipe you used? I love cucumber, especially in a Greek type wrap. I have a feeling I would like this.

The lamb was kind of under seasoned compared with the various pita sandwiches we have had in Greek restos. So, I Googled souvlaki seasoning and I had the Greek oregano, but next time I will add lemon. I'm thinking that I might mix up some lemon juice, Greek oregano, and chicken stock and sort of marinate it for a while before heating it.
