      3 cl Garlic
      2 ts Kosher salt
      1 ts Dried oregano; crushed

      1 tb Olive oil; up to 3 tb,

      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.
