Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 500g lamb mince
- 1 zucchini
- 1 carrot
- 1 large onion
- 3 tomatoes, skins removed
- 4 garlic cloves
- 80g Parmesan, grated
- Fresh breadcrumbs, 2 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tbsp tomato paste
- 3 tsp ground cumin
- 3 tsp five spice powder
- 100g tahini paste
- 1tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp honey
- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Grease a loaf tin (recommended size: 22cmx10cm).
- In a food processor – blitz the zucchini, carrot, onion and tomato until it is the same consistency as the lamb mince. Transfer the vegetable mix to a sieve and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- In a large bowl – add the lamb mince, 2 garlic cloves, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, eggs, tomato paste, all the spices and the dried out vegetable mix. Thoroughly combine the mixture.
- Fill the loaf tin with this mixture and place it on a baking tray. Fill the baking tray with water; till about halfway of the sides of the loaf tin.
- Bake until golden brown, for about 1 hour.
- While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the tahini sauce. Add tahini paste, 2 garlic cloves, honey, lemon juice and salt in a bowl. Add about 50-60ml of water to get a smooth thick sauce. Set aside until you’re ready to serve.
- To assemble: carefully remove the loaf from the water bath and discard any fat from the loaf tin. Carefully turn over the loaf tin and transfer the loaf to a platter. Top it off with tahini sauce and dig in!
