Marinade:

1. For the marinade, combine the oil, lemon, garlic, herbs, spices, onion, and bell peppers in a medium roasting pan with lid (*see note) and toss together. Allow the meat to marinate for at least 2 hours, overnight is best if you can.
2. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F and place the roasting pan with lamb in the oven. After about 30 minutes remove from oven and remove the onion and peppers with a slotted spoon to a separate bowl. Turn the meat and roast for an additional 30 minutes. After the full hour of roasting, remove pan from oven and add the peppers/onions and tomatoes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and re-cover pan. Return to oven and cook for 15 – 25 minutes longer until the meat is very tender (it should be nearly falling off the bone. Once done, cool the meat until it’s a temperature you can handle, then separate the meat from the bone.

Gyros:

1. To assemble the gyros, warm the pitas on a medium skillet over low heat, one at a time. (Alternatively, you can wrap them in a foil packet and place in the hot oven.) Fill each pita with the pepper/onion/tomato mixture and lamb then top with feta, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes. Serve with tzatziki sauce.
