- Remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, mix together the lamb, onion mixture, raisins, almonds, lemon juice, chutney, salt, pepper and 1 egg, slightly beaten, until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Spoon into prepared baking dish.
- Tuck the bay leaves into lamb mixture.
- Bake at 375ºF.
- for 30 minutes.
