Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).

Add the egg to the meat mixture and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape and place it on a lined baking tray.

Step 7

Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 75°C (167°F).

While the meat is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, finely chopped mint leaves, lemon juice, and grated cucumber (squeeze out cucumber moisture if necessary). Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
