Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine 500 g ground lamb, 1/2 cup (60 g) breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint leaves, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 finely chopped small onion, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix gently until ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Step 2: Shape the mixture into 12 evenly sized oval rissoles, about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick. Place them on a baking tray lightly greased with 1 tbsp olive oil, spaced apart.
  3. Step 3: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the rissoles are browned on the outside and cooked through with an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. These rissoles pair well with a side of mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
