Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add beaten eggs and mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  4. Shape the mixture into a compact loaf on a piece of foil or directly on the grill grate using a spatula.
  5. Place the loaf on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 160&# 194;°F.
  6. Let the lamb cake rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
