SERVES 4-6 PREP & COOK TIME 35 MINUTES
750g minced lamb
1 medium (150g) red onion, chopped finely ¼ cup finely chopped fresh oregano leaves 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon rind 2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ cup (50g) dried breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten lightly
3 medium (225g) ripe Roma tomatoes
120g fetta, coarsely crumbled
1⁄3 cup (60g) pitted kalamata olives, halved ¼ cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
750g baby new potatoes, halved
1 Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Liberally grease a 6-hole (¾-cup/180ml) non stick Texas muffin pan.
2 Combine mince, onion, oregano, lemon, garlic, breadcrumbs and egg in a large bowl; season well with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Press half the mixture into the greased pan holes.
3 Cut the tomatoes into 18 slices. Choose six large tomato slices; place on top of the mince with half the fetta and olives. Top with remaining mince; press mixture down. Top meatloaves with remaining slices of tomato, fetta and olives. Drizzle with 2 teaspoons of the oil.
4 Toss potato and remaining oil in a small roasting pan; season well with sea salt flakes.
5 Transfer potato and meatloaves to oven; bake, at the same time, for 25 minutes, or until meatloaves are cooked through. Remove meatloaves from oven. Cook potatoes for a further 5 minutes or until golden.
6 Run a small knife around the edge of each meatloaf, transfer to plates. Serve with the potatoes and accompany with a green salad if you like.
