Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground lamb, 1 small finely chopped yellow onion, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large beaten egg, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix gently until combined.
  2. Step 2: Form the lamb mixture into 8 equal oval-shaped rissoles and place them on a large rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, toss 3 medium peeled and chunked carrots and 1 lb halved baby potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried thyme until evenly coated. Spread them around the rissoles on the baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Roast everything in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the rissoles halfway through, until the lamb is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and golden.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
