Total Time:
Ingredients
- 2 slices white sandwich bread, torn into small pieces
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 large egg
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans, rinsed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
- Heat oven to 400° F. In a large bowl, combine the bread and 3 tablespoons water. Add the lamb, egg, half the garlic, half the thyme, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Place the mixture on a foil-lined baking sheet and shape into a 6-inch loaf (about 3 inches thick). Bake, brushing with the balsamic vinegar several times during cooking, until a thermometer inserted in the center registers 150° F, 30 to 35 minutes. Let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell pepper, onion, and the remaining garlic and thyme and cook, tossing occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the beans, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes; stir in the lemon juice. Serve with the meat loaf.

Quick Tip
Short on time? Instead of making meat loaf, form the lamb mixture into 4 patties. Cook in a large skillet over medium-high
heat, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
