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.
