SALAD——

In a large sauté pan, brown the lamb. Once the lamb looks about halfway cooked through, add the onion and garlic. Continue to cook until onion is softened. Add the oregano, thyme, coriander, chicken stock, lemon juice, and salt. Cook about 5 minutes more, until the stock has reduced a bit.

Chop the romaine lettuce and serve with gyro meat and a spoonful of tzatziki guacamole.

GUACAMOLE——

With a cheese grater, shred the cucumber with a box grater over a tea towel.

Twist the tea towel up and squeeze it over the kitchen sink to remove excess water from cucumber.
-
Blend avocados, squeezed cucumber, mint, dill, lemon, and salt in a food processor until smooth.
