Lamb Meatball Tray Bake

Lamb Meatball Tray Bake

This Lamb Meatball Tray Bake recipe combines two of my favourite things. Meatballs and single pan cooking.  And I think most people would agree that you can’t go wrong with either! Just about everyone – young or old, loves a good meatball. And the simplicity of being able to cook a meal with everything in one pan makes this type of coking ideal for any occasion. Combining the two just makes sense to me. Especially when the end result is so tasty!

The flavours in this dish are loosely Mediterranean. There’s lamb, mint, lemon and sumac coupled with the classic garlic, tomato and zucchini. It’s divine. And through the cooking process you end up with a tray full of intensely delicious flavour. The squeeze of fresh lemon over it all at the end  ties everything together and makes the dish truly sing!

I love to serve the lamb meatball tray bake with a simple rocket salad for an easy healthy dinner. Or add in some olives, fetta or grilled haloumi for a little bit of extra love. The meatballs and vegetables work exceptionally well over pasta or rice for a more hearty meal. And any of the leftover vegetables make a delightful addition to a lunchtime salad or wrap.
