Place 1 small red onion into a blender or food processor.

Add 6 garlic cloves (or 5 if they are large) into the blender.

Blend until finely chopped, but do not puree.

Add 1 pound of ground lamb and 1 pound of ground beef to the blender.

Add 2 teaspoons of marjoram, 2 teaspoons of oregano, 2 teaspoons of freshly ground pepper, and 2 teaspoons of Redmond Real Salt to the meat mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of gelatin and Fawn bone broth to the mixture.

Blend until it forms a fine paste.

Spray the meat press with avocado oil spray for easier release.

Press the meat mixture into the meat press firmly to eliminate air bubbles.

Close the meat press securely.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and place the meat press into the boiling water.

Simmer the meat for about 1 hour, refilling the water if it goes down too much.

Check the temperature of the meat with a thermometer (note: the creator's thermometer was broken).

Once the temperature reaches 165 degrees, remove the meat press from the heat.

Place the meat press in the fridge overnight to cool and pack tightly before releasing.
