LAMB LOAF COOKED IN CIDER

This is one of those super-easy but really fragrant recipes to impress your date on Valentine's Day.

My apologies for the quietness lately. I've had other things on my mind but now I'm back to my usual self and I'm dying to try new things.






LAMB LOAF COOKED IN CIDER

1 000g minced lamb
2 eggs
a few tablespoons ground almonds
2 tsp salt
dried thyme
pepper
pint can of dry apple cider, divided


400g swede (or more if you want to make it a one-dish meal but add more cider as well)
1-2 apples


Mix all the dry ingredients, meat and eggs. Add 100ml of cider and mix in. Knead until the mixture starts to firm up.




Cut the apples and swede and place them around the loaf. Pour the rest of the cider over the food. I've suddenly forgotten how to revert pictures but you get the point.




Bake in 200°C for about an hour.

Wow the smell is bad! The alcohol evaporates during cooking but all the good aromas will still be left.
