Cheesy Baked Oregano Lamb Meatballs

with Broccoli

The trick to super tender meatballs? Baking them of course! It allows for plenty of moisture and flavour to stay in your meatballs where they belong. Cheddar cheese and a crusty ciabatta loaf add an indulgent touch to this cosy dish.

Instructions

Get prepped
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Thinly slice the garlic. Pick and finely chop the oregano leaves. Cut the zucchini into 1cm chunks. Chop the broccoli into small florets and cut the stalk into 1cm pieces. TIP: Cut the veggies to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time.

Prep the meatballs
2

In a medium bowl, combine the lamb mince, egg, oregano citrus spice blend (see ingredients list), salt (see ingredients list) and 1/2 the fine breadcrumbs. Take 1 tbs of the lamb mixture and shape into a small meatball. TIP: Use wet hands when shaping the meatballs to prevent the mixture from sticking! Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining mixture (you should get about 5 meatballs per person).

Cook the meatballs
3

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb meatballs and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until browned (the meatballs will continue cooking in step 4). Transfer the meatballs to a medium baking dish and set aside.

Cook the sauce
4

Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil (if needed). Add the garlic, oregano and zucchini and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the passata (see ingredients list) and sugar and bring to the boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining fine breadcrumbs and the shredded Cheddar cheese. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted

Cook the broccoli
5

While the meatballs are baking, place the bake-at-home ciabatta directly on the wire rack in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until crusty on the outside and steaming hot on the inside.

Wipe out the frying pan and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the broccoli and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until tender. TIP: Add a dash of water to speed up the cooking process. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve up
6

Divide the oregano lamb meatballs and the broccoli between bowls. Serve with the crusty ciabatta on the side (perfect for scooping up the sauce!).
