Serves:
4 ppl
Ingredients
1 lbs (1/2 kg) ground lamb
1 Red/white onion, chopped
(1/2 of big onion)
1 Garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup Mint leaves, chopped
1/4 cup Parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp Cumin
1 Tbsp Salt
Ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
1. Pre-heat your oven to 350º f (175º c), and prep your mix: chop the onion and herbs, and mix with the ground meat and spices. You can make this in advance and leave it covered in the fridge for a few hours to even further enhance the flavors.
2. Roll the meatballs to small/medium size balls. If you’re unsure of the salt leave a little bit of the mix for a sample.
3. Cover the frying pan with appropriate frying oil, safflower, Sunflower, for example. When the oil is hot, fry your little sample and taste to adjust flavors, mostly salt.
4. Carefully place the meatballs in the pan, ensuring enough space between them. If you’re making a larger quantity, fry in batches.
5. Fry for 2-3 min on each side, and roll them a bit to give the sides a nice brown color. When the meatballs are brown on all sides, transfer to an oven-safe baking dish (preferably with higher sides) and bake for 5 more minutes.
Serving suggestion: Serve over our delicious Greek Salad. Enjoy!
