MMMMM---------------------OPTIONAL TOPPINGS--------------------------
          Chopped tomatoes
          Sliced red onion
          Shredded lettuce
          Tzatziki sauce

 Set oven @ 325oF/165oC.

 Process onion in a food processor until finely chopped,
 10-15 seconds. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel;
 squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Return onion to
 food processor. Add beef, lamb, garlic, salt, oregano,
 thyme, rosemary, cumin and pepper. Pulse until mixed,
 2-3 times; scrape down sides. Process until meat mixture
 is sticky and paste-like, about 1 minute.

 Transfer meat mixture into an ungreased 9" X 5" loaf
 pan. Press and smooth top of mixture with a rubber
 spatula, packing tightly into pan.

 Place loaf pan in a larger baking pan; add 1 in. of hot
 water to larger pan. Bake 60-70 minutes. Remove loaf pan
 from water bath immediately to a wire rack. Place a
 second 9" X 5" loaf pan, bottom side down, onto the meat
 mixture in the pan. Weigh down the top pan by adding
 several cans to the top pan. Cool like this for 30
 minutes.

 Remove weighted pan; drain grease from loaf. Return loaf
 to pan. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 3
 hours or overnight.

 Remove from pan, cut widthwise in 1/4" slices.

 In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over
 medium-high heat. In batches, cook and stir meat slices
 until lightly browned, 3 - 5 minutes, adding more oil as
 needed. Serve in pitas with toppings as desired.
