Baked Ground Lamb is a flavorful dish often rooted in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Typically prepared with minced lamb, aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, and paprika enhance its savory taste. Additional ingredients may include garlic, onion, fresh herbs like parsley, and sometimes breadcrumbs or eggs to bind the mixture. Lamb, as the centerpiece, is a rich source of protein, vitamin B12, zinc, and iron, supporting muscle health and energy production. Its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids also contribute positively to heart health. However, lamb is a red meat with a higher fat content, particularly saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation for those mindful of cholesterol or heart health. Baked preparation ensures a healthier alternative to frying, preserving nutrients while reducing added fats. Pairing this dish with roasted vegetables or whole-grain sides creates a balanced and wholesome meal.
