Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Finely mince 3 cloves of garlic and one small onion.

Step 5

Form the lamb mixture into a rectangular loaf shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

While the lamb is baking, prepare the Tzatziki sauce. Grate half a cucumber and squeeze to remove excess water.
