Gyro Meatloaf

1. 1

   Place oven rack in lower-middle position and heat to 350u00b0.

2. 2

   Lightly spray bottom and sides of a loaf pan with vegetable oil spray and set aside.

3. 3

   Break up ground lamb and beef into a large bowl and add bread crumbs, parsley, egg, egg white, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper; using clean hands, combine the mixture well, then lightly press meat mixture together, lift it out of the bowl and place in prepared pan.

4. 4

   Using a small spatula, pull mixture up and away from the sides of the pan and smooth out the top.

5. 5

   Bake 60 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 150u00b0; cool to room temperature, remove from pan and wrap in plastic wrap, then into foil; refrigerate until serving time.

6. 6

   Before serving, slice the chilled meatload and cook in a nonstick frying pan until crisp; serve in pita rounds (which you can warm and brown in the same pan as the meat) with tzatziki sauce**there are many excellent tzatziki sauces listed here on Zaar so I didn't add my own, do a search and choose what looks best to you.
