Ingredients

2 lbs ground lamb
1 lb ground beef
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
1 large celery, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped garlic (about 6 cloves)
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (3-inch piece)
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups dried breadcrumbs
2 small eggs
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped of fresh mint

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F Combine the lamb and beef in a large bowl. Set aside.
2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and ginger and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add the salt, paprika, cumin, curry powder, cayenne, cinnamon, and pepper. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to release the flavors. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
3

Stir the vegetables into the ground meat. Mix in the bread crumbs, eggs, cilantro, and mint. Transfer to a 1 1/2 quart loaf pan and set in a baking pan. Pour water into the baking pan to reach halfway up the sides of the loaf pan.
4

Bake the meat loaf for 1 1/2 hours, or until firm and cooked through. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Unmold onto a plate and slice.
