Instructions
Place onion in a food processor and finely chop. Transfer onion to a piece of cheesecloth and squeeze out the liquid. Place onion in a large bowl.
Mix lamb
beef
garlic
oregano
cumin
marjoram
thyme
rosemary
black pepper
and salt with the onion using your hands until well mixed. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend
about 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Place meat mixture in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped and tacky
about 1 minute. Pack meat mixture into a 7x4-inch loaf pan
ensuring there are no air pockets. Place the loaf pan into a roasting pan and pour enough boiling water around the loaf pan to reach halfway up the sides for a water bath.
Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center
45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Pour off any accumulated fat and cool slightly.
Thinly slice the cooked gyro meat loaf.
Spread 1 tablespoon hummus onto each pita bread. Then top each with some of the gyro meat slices
shredded lettuce
tomato slices
red onion slices
feta cheese crumbles
and 2 tablespoons tzatziki sauce to complete each sandwich.
