This modern twist on traditional meatloaf pairs rich, savory minced lamb with the earthy goodness of kale. This dish marries the heritage of rustic comfort food with a healthful update, offering a robust texture and vibrant flavors that promise to delight and captivate.
Ingredients
500 grams ground lamb (minced lamb) - preferably organic
1 cup kale - finely chopped
1 large onion - finely diced
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 large egg - lightly beaten
½ cup breadcrumbs - use whole grain for added texture
2 tablespoons milk - preferably whole
1 tablespoon olive oil - extra virgin
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sea salt - to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
½ cup ketchup - for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent and aromatic.
- In a large bowl, combine the minced lamb, sautéed onion and garlic, kale, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan, pressing down gently to form an even loaf.
- Spread the ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is firm, and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
- Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For added depth, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the mix, or swapping bread crumbs for crushed nuts for a unique texture.
