Lamb/Mutton Loaf

Lamb/Mutton Loaf

Lamb/mutton loaf is a protein-rich savory dish made using ground lamb or mutton mixed with a variety of ingredients such as breadcrumbs, eggs, herbs or spices. Once mixed, the seasoned meat mixture is then baked in a loaf pan until cooked through. This dish is often compared to meatloaf, which is made with beef. Although less commonly consumed, lamb/mutton is a good source of protein, zinc and vitamin B12. Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a role in immune function, wound healing, and DNA synthesis. Vitamin B12 is also essential for maintaining healthy nerves and blood cells. However, lamb/mutton can be high in cholesterol and saturated fat, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
