Turn to these herb-flecked oven-baked loaves if you’re seeking comfort.

These tasty mini loaves come together quickly on a weeknight. I use tins that are 4cm by 6cm, but you can adjust the recipe to suit any size. Pair with a side salad for a well-balanced plate.

GREEK LAMB LOAVES RECIPE Makes 4-6
400g minced lamb ½ onion, chopped fine 2 cloves garlic, grated 1 Tbsp lemon zest 2 Tbsp tomato paste 1 egg 1 Tbsp chopped rosemary ¼ cup chopped sundried tomatoes 100g feta, crumbled Rosemary stalk, to garnish
Sauce ½ cup yoghurt 50g feta crumbled 1 tsp chopped rosemary
  1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease the base of 4 mini loaf tins.
  2. In a large bowl mix the lamb, onion, garlic, tomato paste, egg, rosemary, tomatoes and feta. Evenly fill the mini loaf tins and place a piece of rosemary on top.
  3. Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Let them sit for a few minutes.
  4. Combine the yoghurt, feta and rosemary to serve alongside the loaves.
