  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,

  is sticky and paste-like, about 1 minute.

  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.
