Gyros:
- Process the onion in a food processor for 10 to 15 seconds and turn into the center of a tea towel. Gather up the ends of the towel and squeeze until almost all of the juice is removed. Discard juice.
- Return the onion to the food processor and add the lamb or beef, garlic, marjoram, rosemary, salt & pepper, and process until it is a fine paste, approximately 1 minute. Stop the processor as needed to scrape down sides of bowl. Place the mixture in a pan over medium-high heat and brown until no longer pink.
- Slice or crumble and serve on one half of a BAYS English Muffin. Fold over and secure with a wooden pick.
- Top with tzatziki sauce (see below), chopped onion, tomatoes and feta cheese.
Tzatziki Sauce:
- Place the yogurt in a tea towel, gather up the edges, suspend over a bowl, and drain for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Place the chopped cucumber in a tea towel and squeeze to remove the liquid. Discard liquid.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained yogurt, cucumber, salt, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and mint.
