Ingredients
- 60 g Lamb liver, raw
- 70 g Lamb, ground, raw
- 60 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 20 g Onions, raw
- 5 g Parsley, fresh
- 3 g Dill, fresh
- 8 g Vegetable oil
- 1 g Salt
- 0.3 g Black pepper
Method
- Finely chop the lamb liver and mix with the ground lamb, chopped onion, parsley, dill, salt and pepper.
- Hard-boil one egg's worth of the egg (about half the total weight); once cooled, peel it.
- Beat the remaining egg into the meat mixture to bind it.
- Press half the meat mixture into an oiled loaf tin, nestle the boiled egg into the centre, then cover with the rest of the meat mixture, patting it smooth.
- Brush the top with the oil and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 45-55 minutes until firm and cooked through with no pink remaining (74 °C/165 °F).
- Cool slightly, then slice so each piece shows a ring of egg in the centre; drob is traditionally served cold or warm at Easter.
