Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • fine salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ medium yellow onion. 1 finely minced, fresh rosemary
  • 450 g zucchini
  • 450 g coarsely ground lamb
  • 100 g brown rice, cooked
  • 50 g grated emmental
  • 30 ml olive oil
  • 50 ml vegetable broth

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the zucchini rounds and season with salt and pepper. Quickly fry the zucchini, stirring often, until it starts to soften. Set aside on a plate in the refrigerator.
  • 2
    Heat the last tablespoon of oil in the same frying pan over high heat. Add the onion and sprinkle with a little salt. Cook rapidly, stirring continuously, until the onion starts to take on some color. Add the lamb and rosemary. Continue stirring until the lamb is just browned. Pour the contents of the frying pan into a strainer set over a bowl. Place both in the refrigerator to cool for a while.

    After the meat-onion mixture has started to cool, combine it with the cooked rice and the broth. Taste and, if necessary, season with additional salt and pepper. Place half the mixture in a small baking dish. Level the top and press it firmly down. Layer half the zucchini slices on top of the meat. Press down to level the top again. Add the remaining meat, level, and press. Add the remaining zucchini, arranging them attractively. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top and press it down.

    If not being baked right away, the baking dish should be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated until about an hour before cooking. Bring the dish to room temperature before baking.
  • 5
    Preheat the oven to 180°C .
  • 6
    Bake the dish until the center is warm and the cheese starts to brown, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and allow the dish to firm up for 10 minutes or so before serving.
