Gyro Sausage

A few weeks back we started making our sausage. I think so far our tastiest was our "Gyro" Sausage. Pretty Basic as far ingredients go so I guess I'll get started there. you will need 1Lb. Lamb (ground), 1Lb. Pork Butt (we grind our own, but you could use just a fatty ground sausage), 1 whole white onion finally minced, 4tsp minced garlic, 1 1/2 tsp Salt, 1 tsp Marjoram, 1 tsp Rosemary 1/4 tsp Black pepper. Essentially shove it all in a bowl and mix it all up real good. We use your standard Kitchen Aide and the happy mixing paddle, turn it onto 4 and let it go for a few minutes, 3 or so should do it. When you have it all mixed it's probably a good idea to take a table spoon or so and pan fry it real quick just so you can taste it and adjust your seasoning before you either cook it or stuff it into sausage casings.

I also use this for my gyro meat (minus the pork), in which case i take a loaf pan and spray it with some olive oil spray and then fill it with my mixture. I then cook it for about 60 minutes at 325 degrees. It turns out pretty well I think. I also make my own tzatiki sauce which is really simple. Just take some plain greek yogurt (small container) half a cucumber and a spoonful of garlic (i really like garlic) and blend it all together ( I use my magic bullet... I am that guy)

When I'm done I dice up some Roma tomatos (because I think they rule) pour on a dab of my tzatziki and yummy Down! Enjoy
