Lightly beat the egg and add it to the mixture.

Add the minced lamb to the food processor.

Process the mixture for one minute.

Add the fresh herbs and process for another minute, scraping down the sides as needed.

Check for a paste consistency with green speckles from the herbs.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) or gas mark 4.

Use nonstick aluminum foil and coat it with softened butter.

Scrape the mixture onto the foil and shape it into a brick shape, using oil on hands to prevent sticking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.

Trim one end of the meat for a flat surface.

Use a fork to hold the meat and slice it thinly from top to bottom with a sharp knife.
