Lamb Meatloaf with Sweet and Spicy Topping

November 29, 2017 By Jittery Cook 2 Comments

Baby, it’s cold outside — perfect weather to enjoy comfort foods and hearty, healthy fare. You can thank my non-jittery, fantastic cook, sister Julia Richardson for this excellent meatloaf rendition.

When your main dish is meat and you’re striving to increase the amount of plant foods in your diet, nothing smuggles vegetables into a dish quite as stealthily as this Lamb Meatloaf with Sweet and Spicy Topping.

Lamb Meatloaf with Sweet and Spicy Topping

  • 1 lb minced lamb 
  • 2 celery stalks, minced
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 1 zucchini, grated
  • 1 pint mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 3 scallions or 1 small onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
  • 1/4 c finely chopped parsley
  • 1 T fresh oregano or 1 t dried
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 c fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 t Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 t kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Spoon the meat mixture into a loaf pan brushed with oil or sprayed with cooking spray. Press down with the back of a spoon to even out. Top with Sweet and Spicy Topping. Bake for 1 hour or until a thermometer registers 160F. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serves 8 – 10. Can also be cooked in muffin shape in half the time, but onion and celery need to be finely minced so they aren’t crunchy.

Sweet and Spicy Topping

  • 1/4 c each ketchup
  • 1/4 c regular mustard
  • 1/4 c brown sugar
  • 1/2 – 1 t Sambal Oelek

    There is something very comforting about meatloaf. I don’t think I’ve ever had it with lamb. This is a very tempting recipe even for those of us who are quasi-vegetarians.

      It’s amazing to see how many vegetables are crammed into this meatloaf. And the topping adds lots of zing.
