Swaps, storing and making ahead
Good to know
Swaps
- No ground beef 90/10? A similar fat-content ground lamb or a beef-lamb blend works in the same way.
- No fresh garlic? Use about 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder in place of the 2 tablespoons minced garlic.
- Short on time for puréeing onion? Grate the onion finely instead to get a similar texture.
Storing it
Store leftover meat in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a hot skillet or oven until steaming hot and crisp at the edges.
Making it ahead
The meat mixture can be prepared and rolled into logs up to a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge until ready to bake.
