Active Time 15 minutes

Pressure/Manual (High) Natural Release

• 1 small red onion, coarsely chopped
• 6 garlic cloves
• 1 pound ground lamb
• 2 teaspoons ground marjoram
• 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 2 teaspoons salt

FOR SERVING

• 4 pitas, cut in half

Method

1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the onion and garlic

3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the ground lamb and the onion mixture
4. Add the marjoram, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper
5. Beat the mixture until it is sticky
6. Don’t skip this step, or you’ll have a hamburger with seasoning-not a smooth gyro loaf
7. Pour the water into the bottom of the Instant Pot
8. Place a steamer rack in the pot
9. Place a piece of aluminum foil on the rack
10. Divide the meat mixture into two equal pieces and shape them into loaves

12. Secure the lid on the pot
13. Close the pressure-release valve
14. Select MANUAL and set the pot at HIGH pressure for 15 minutes
15. At the end of the cooking time, allow the pot to sit undisturbed until the pressure has released
16. Remove the meat loaves from the pot and set them on a platter
17. Cover with foil, then place a heavy object on top to compress them
18. Let stand for 30 minutes
19. Thinly slice the meat loaves and serve with pita, tomatoes, cucumber, sliced onion, and tzatziki
