INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 kilo lamb mince
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs made from sourdough or other good quality bread

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan and sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
Whisk the eggs and Worcestershire sauce together. Combine the lamb with all the ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix thoroughly but lightly. Spoon the mixture into a 1 litre loaf tin and place in the oven. Cook for approximately 40 minutes or until firm to the touch and the juices run clear when pierced. Rest at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with the beetroot relish.

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
