where do i find ground lamb ?
i got a "gyro" at the pizza place a week ago and he said it was a mix of beef and lamb they get already sliced...
id like to try making my own, any one got ideas ?
I get boneless leg of lamb from Sams club.
I'm not sure where you live, but do you have access to a meat locker (where they process the entire animal, but offer cuts to the public as well)?
We get our meat by the animal, so we get a lamb in the spring, but where it is processed, they also sell all cuts of meat, including lamb. Perhaps you can google for that.
I'd guess, otherwise, see if you can find halal groceries or specialty meat stores. I probably wouldn't buy it from a supermarket anyway, but that's just me.
Worst case... ask at the restaurant if you can buy a few pounds of the meat for a lower price and freeze it for later.
Alton Brown has a recipe at FoodNetwork that is pretty close taste-wise...
Sear, I take it that you are in or around NY NY. There are plenty of meat markets and butchers in your area. Google had too many to list on google maps. They just covered my screen in tiny dots.
2lbs of lamb tooWe have a small food processor and I did two pounds of ground lamb. I ended up doing a lot of little batches in the processor to make mine, but yeah it was real nice in the end.
How did you cook yours?
