Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Lamb/mutton, Herbs, Breads
Yield: 8 Servings
1 md Onion; quartered
1 lb Ground beef
1 lb Ground lamb
3 cl Garlic
2 ts Kosher salt
1 ts Dried oregano; crushed
1 ts Dried thyme; crushed
1 ts Dried rosemary; crushed
3/4 ts Ground cumin
1/2 ts Pepper
1 tb Olive oil; up to 3 tb,
- divided
8 Whole pita breads
MMMMM---------------------OPTIONAL TOPPINGS--------------------------
Tomatoes; chopped
Red onion; sliced
Lettuce; shredded
Tzatziki sauce
Set oven @ 325 F/165 C.
Process onion in a food processor until finely chopped, 10 to
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 to 3 times; scrape down sides. Process until meat
mixture is sticky and paste-like, about 1 minute.
Transfer meat mixture into an ungreased 9x5" 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" of hot water to
larger pan. Bake 60 to 70 minutes. Remove loaf pan from water bath
immediately to a wire rack. Place a second 9x5" 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 tb oil over medium-high heat. In
batches, cook and stir meat slices until lightly browned, 3 to
5 minutes, adding more oil as needed. Serve in pitas with toppings
as desired.
