    • 1 teaspoon curry powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Meat

    • 2 pounds ground lamb
    • 🐄 1 pound ground beef

  • Binding & Add-ins

    • 1 1/4 cups dry bread crumbs
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    • 🥚 2 large eggs
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

  • BBQ Sauce (Optional)

    • 🍅 1 1/2 cups ketchup
    • 🧅 1/4 medium yellow onion, minced
    • 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
    • 1/2 medium chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons adobo sauce from chipotle peppers
    • 1/2 teaspoon white sugar

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and ginger until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in all spices and cook for 1-2 minutes to release flavors. Remove from heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes.

3

Combine ground lamb and beef in a large bowl. Add cooled vegetable mixture, bread crumbs, cilantro, eggs, and mint. Mix thoroughly.

4

Transfer the meatloaf mixture into a 1 1/2-quart loaf pan. Place the loaf pan in a larger baking pan and pour water into the baking pan to reach halfway up the loaf pan.

5

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours, until firm and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes after baking.

6

Optional: Prepare the BBQ sauce by combining ketchup, minced onion, pomegranate molasses, chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Allow to cool and serve with the meatloaf.

7

Unmold the meatloaf, slice, and serve with your desired sauce or drippings as a side.
