Comfort food with a Mediterranean twist, made to match a bold Malbec.
This Greek Lamb Lasagna is a rich, flavourful take on a classic — with spiced lamb, sweet fennel, and a creamy topping of Greek yoghurt and feta. It’s hearty, comforting, and full of Mediterranean warmth.
Paired with the Santa Vincenta Mendoza Malbec by Sister’s Run, it’s a match made in flavour heaven. The wine’s ripe dark fruit, soft tannins, and hint of spice perfectly balance the richness of the lamb and the tangy yoghurt, elevating every bite.

Tips/Tricks
• I like the addition of yoghurt as the “white sauce” in this Greek version but feel free to substitute the more traditional bechamel sauce if you prefer
• Different type of lasagna sheets may take more or less time to cook – if unsure feel free to stick a knife in the lasagna to test for readiness and just bang the heat up to brown the cheese on top
• The lamb mince mix also works great as a lamb Bolognese dish too – sneaky way of getting veg into the kids!
