Instructions

1. 01

   In a large bowl or pan, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, hot curry powder, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

2. 02

   Add the lamb shoulder to the marinade, ensuring that all the pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results

3. 03

   Preheat your smoker to 225°F

4. 04

   Remove the marinated lamb from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

5. 05

   Place the lamb directly on the smoker grates or use a grill pan suitable for smoking. Smoke the lamb at 225°F for approximately 2-3 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches for medium doneness.

6. 06

   Once smoked, remove the lamb from the smoker and let it rest for 10 minutes. Then, thinly slice the smoked lamb against the grain.

7. 07

   Warm the pita breads either on the grill or in a skillet until they are pliable and slightly toasted.

8. 08

   Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread.

9. 09

   Add a portion of the sliced smoked lamb on top of the tzatziki sauce.

10. 10

    Garnish the gyro with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

11. 11

    Roll up the pita bread tightly to form a gyro, and you can secure it with foil or parchment paper if needed.

    Tzatziki Sauce Instructions:

13. 13

    Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. This step helps prevent the Tzatziki from becoming watery.

14. 14

    In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and chopped fresh dill.

15. 15

    Stir everything together until well combined.

16. 16

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the amount of seasoning according to your preference.

17. 17

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

18. 18

    Before serving, give the Tzatziki a quick stir and taste for any additional seasoning adjustments.

19. 19

    Serve the Tzatziki sauce chilled as a condiment or dipping sauce with your favorite dishes, such as gyros, grilled meats, or as a dip for vegetables or pita bread.
