- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 pound ground veal
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup freshly grated caciocavallo or pecorino Romano
- 1/2 bunch Italian parsley, finely chopped
- 4 sprigs thyme leaves, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Several fresh gratings of nutmeg
- 1 egg plus 1 yolk, beaten
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- Salt and pepper
- All-purpose flour
- 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, segmented and finely chopped
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the lamb and the veal, red pepper flakes, cheese, parsley, thyme, garlic, nutmeg, egg, and bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper, and mix well to make a homogenous mixture. Form the mixture into a loaf and dust the entire surface with all-purpose flour.

My husband made this one day and we have fallen in love with it.
We make it for our guests and they love it even more then we do.
It is nice to use lemon instead of ketchup of your meatloaf.
