Gyro Meat


I finally was able to find some gluten-free pita bread.  So now, its time to make Gyros.
Gyro meat is a Greek/Lebanese style meatloaf served with Pita Bread.  I have never made them before.  I was surprised how easy it really was to make.  So easy that I made a loaf two days in a row.  The only complicated part was the wait time.  The process between the steps take time, but you can do other things to make up for it.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground lamb
1 lb ground beef
1 1/2 chopped onion
1/2 tsp dry marjoram
1/2 tsp dry cilantro
1/2 tsp dry oregano
1/2 tsp dry thyme
1/2 tsp dry rosemary
3 cloves garlic, minced
 
Topping Ideas:
red onion
lettuce
feta cheese
tomatoes
tzatziki sauce
cucumbers

Directions:
1.  Add meat to a medium-size mixing bowl.
2.  Puree onions in a food processor.  Place onions on a sheet of paper towel.  Squeeze as much liquid as you can from the onions.  Add onions to meat in the bowl.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add all other ingredients.  Fold well.  Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours to allow flavors to blend.
3.  Add meat to the food processor and pulse for 1 min.  Pack down meat into an 8 or 9-inch loaf pan,
removing air pockets.
4.  Bake for 1 hr in a preheated 325 degree oven.  Remove and drain grease from pan.  Slice thin and serve with your favorite toppings

Serves 8
