Eureka! I finally found the Frugal Gourmet's Gyros recipe.

I started looking for it in 2007. I found my old yellowed stained paper that I copied it on to while I was watching the Frugal Gourmet cooking show.

I am posting it here so I don't lose it again. I have a 2 pound shoulder roast of lamb that I wanted to make with this. I am going to make it on my "Set It and Forget It", which with this heat has been in constant use. I love that thing.

I will let you know if it is as good as I remember.

NOTES : Michael's note: I use a bag of triple-washed baby spinach to save time.

I also use more feta than the recipe calls for, but that is a matter of taste. I add about 6 to 8 ounces.

I honestly don't remember, but I am pretty sure I would have followed the

recipe since I hadn't made tzatziki before. I made this for Easter one year in San Diego.
