Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 7 to 8-pound leg of lamb, butterflied, bones removed
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/4 cup currants
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 large cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 pound Greek feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 pound Kalamata or other Mediterranean-style ripe black olives, pitted and coarsely chopped 2 tablespoons dried rosemary, crushed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
8 to 10 small baby eggplants, washed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lay the butterflied leg of lamb flat on a work surface, fat side down. Combine the bread crumbs, currants, pine nuts, parsley, garlic, feta cheese, olives, rosemary, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl and blend well to make a coarse stuffing for the lamb. Spread the stuffing evenly along the center of the inside of the leg of lamb. Fold the lamb towards the center, one side and then the other, to enclose the stuffing and form a roll. Pin the roll closed with toothpicks or skewers, or tie the roll in several places with butcher's twine so that it does not open during cooking.
  • Season the outside of the lamb with salt and pepper and place, seam-side-down, in a roasting pan. Place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes, then add the baby eggplants to the roasting pan with the lamb. Continue roasting the lamb and eggplant for another 35 to 40 minutes for medium rare.
  • Remove the lamb and eggplants from the oven and allow the roast to cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve 2 to 3 slices of lamb per person and 1 or 2 roasted eggplants. The eggplant should be left whole during roasting, then split down the middle to serve. They should be eaten by scooping out the creamy eggplant interior, leaving the shells behind.

TASTY BAKED LAMB WITH FETA CHEESE AND TOMATOES



Tasty Baked Lamb With Feta Cheese and Tomatoes image

This is my husband's special dish he makes us for a treat. The flavours are lovely and he impressed me with it before we were married - I couldn't believe he'd cooked it! (I've since learned he is a good cook but keeps it quiet) He normally serves with some fresh steamed broccoli. As its so easy to make he passed the recipe onto a friend who wanted to impress his girlfriend but he didn't serve with any veggies and it does need something with it that's not baked - although she was impressed with the dish she told me. You can play around with the quantities to suit you as long as the basic ingredents are there. Enjoy!

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

14 ounces lamb necks (lamb neck Fillet)
8 fresh tomatoes
7 ounces feta cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons dried herbs, of your choice (normally we use Italian mixed and basil)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Cube the neck fillet and place on the base of a 9inch square oven dish.
  • Change the dish size to suit you but we normally have enough lamb to cover the base of the dish - this makes a large meal for us two!
  • Salt and pepper the lamb.
  • Then cube feta cheese and sprinkle over the top.
  • Thinly slice the tomatoes and layer over the top so that the dish is covered.
  • Sprinkle on dried herbs.
  • Sprinkle over the olive oil.
  • Bake in the oven for 60 to 90 mins (we normally go for 90) at Gas mark 5 or 190°C.
  • Half way through the baking time take the dish out and use a baster to draw out the juices at the bottom of the dish and squirt on the top.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lamb: Use a ground lamb that has a fat content of at least 20%. This will help keep the meatloaf moist and flavorful.
  • Season the lamb well: Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of spices and herbs when seasoning the lamb. This will help give the meatloaf a delicious flavor.
  • Use fresh feta cheese: Fresh feta cheese will give the meatloaf a bright and tangy flavor. Avoid using pre-crumbled feta cheese, as it is often dry and flavorless.
  • Don't overwork the meatloaf mixture: Overworking the meatloaf mixture will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cooking the meatloaf at a low temperature will help keep it moist and juicy. Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Lamb meatloaf with feta cheese is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple tips, you can make a lamb meatloaf that is sure to impress your family and friends.
