Servings: 4
Yield: 1 9×5-inch loaf pan

Ingredients

  1. ½ teaspoon vegetable oil
  2. 2 slices dry bread, diced
  3. ½ teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
  4. ¼ cup milk
  5. 1 pound ground lamb
  6. 1 egg
  7. 4 cloves minced garlic
  8. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  9. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  10. 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  11. 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  12. 1 teaspoon dried basil
  13. 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  14. ¾ teaspoon salt
  15. ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  16. ¼ cup tomato sauce
  17. 5 leaves fresh mint, finely chopped
  18. 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with oil.
  2. Place bread and milk in a small bowl. Press bread with a fork to soak up the milk.
  3. 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.
  4. Combine tomato sauce and mint; spread evenly over the meatloaf. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
  5. 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.

I used Panko bread crumbs instead of bread. I thought it was very tasty. I would make this again.
Olivia Sweeney
I followed the recipe carefully although I had slightly less lamb. It was easy to make and was delicious hot and cold!
Travis Alvarez
I followed this recipe exactly and really liked it a lot…except for the amount of lemon zest called for. It was pretty lemony, which I normally like a lot. But going forward, I recommend 1 teaspoon, not a tablespoon, of lemon zest! And I recommend draining the fat before serving it. Thanks for the recipe–very good!

Hi, I made this with almond milk and and fresh herbs. Wonderful!
Jo Lewis
Made as written. Delicious! We did use dried herbs except for the mint. I had doubts about the mint, but it was very subtle. Served with a Greek pasta salad. It’s going in the rotation!
