Ingredienser
  

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, egg, 2 cloves of minced garlic, mint, parsley, oregano, feta, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small loaf. Place the loaves on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  • While the meatloaves bake, cook the couscous. Bring the water, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium pot. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • For the tzatziki, stir together the Greek yogurt, drained cucumber, dill, remaining 1 clove minced garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the meatloaves over the couscous with tzatziki on the side.

merknader

Drain the grated cucumber well in a clean towel so the tzatziki stays thick. Shape the loaves evenly for consistent cooking, and add a squeeze of extra lemon over the couscous right before serving if you want more brightness.
