Indian Spiced Lamb Meatloaf Food

LAMB LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil.
• Place bread and milk in a small bowl. Press bread with a fork to soak up the milk.
• Combine lamb, egg, garlic, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, lemon zest, coriander, basil, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Add soaked bread; discard the leftover milk. Mix with hands until well combined. Transfer meatloaf to the prepared pan.
• Combine tomato sauce and mint; spread evenly over the meatloaf. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

SPICY MEATLOAF WITH LAMB, WEIGHT WATCHERS COUNT YOUR POINTS!

Steps:

• Combine the seasoning mix ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
• In a large skillet, warm the olive oil. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, green onions, garlic, Tabasco & Worcestershire and seasoning mix. Saute until mixture starts sticking to the bottom of the pan, stirring occasionally while scraping the bottom of the pan, about 6 minutes. Stir in the evaporated milk and tomato paste, continue cooking for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In large mixing bowl, combine beef, lamb and breadcrumbs. Knead by hand until breadcrumbs are absorbed into meat mixture. Add the egg and egg whites, lightly beaten. Knead again until absorbed. Remove the bay leaves and then add the cooked vegetable mixture. Again, mix by hand until thoroughly combined.
• Spray an 8 x 8 baking pan, transfer the mixture and shape into a loaf about 1 1/2 inches high, 8 inches wide and long. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes on top.
• Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, raise the temperature to 400 and continue to cook another 35 minutes. Let set for 5 minutes before slicing. I slice into 10 pieces by making one cut down the middle and four across.

• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and beat. Add the breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
• Add the ground meats and your cooled onion, garlic, and herbs.
• Add the worcestershire sauce and ketchup (or tomato paste).

MOROCCAN-INSPIRED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and ginger; cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt, paprika, cumin, curry powder, cayenne, cinnamon, and black pepper and cook to release flavors, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Combine the lamb and beef in a large bowl. Add cooled vegetable mixture and stir to combine. Mix in bread crumbs, cilantro, eggs, and mint.
• Transfer meatloaf mixture to a 1 1/2-quart loaf pan and set in a baking pan. Pour water in the baking pan to reach halfway up the sides of the loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until firm and cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the BBQ sauce, if using. Combine ketchup, onion, molasses, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat; bring to a simmer. Cook until flavors blend, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Unmold meatloaf onto a large plate. Slice and serve with the sauce.

SPICED ROAST LAMB

Steps:

• Stir together the marinade ingredients and season with ½ tsp ground black pepper and 1½ tsp flaky salt. Slash the lamb several times on both sides, then massage the marinade all over it. Seal into a large food bag or non-metallic container and chill overnight (or at least for a few hrs). Let the lamb sit at room temperature for 1 hr before roasting.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the lamb into a foil-lined roasting tin and roast for 20 mins. Turn the oven down to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and roast for 1 hr 20 mins for meat that's pink near the bone. Cover loosely with foil halfway through cooking or once the marinade has charred and the meat looks golden.
• Leave the lamb to rest for 20 mins before carving, then serve with lentil & tomato and cucumber salads (see related recipes).
