Lamb Meatballs

- 1 lb ground lamb
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 small yellow onion
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp coriander
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
-
Prepare your onion and garlic, by mincing the garlic and dicing the onion into small pieces.
-
Combine the ground lamb, egg, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, diced onion, and spices in a large bowl and mix until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Using a spoon or mini ice cream scoop, scoop out about 1 oz of the lamb mixture into the palms of your hands and roll into smooth balls. Wet your hands to prevent the meat from sticking to your palms.
-
Heat a few tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan set over medium-high heat.
-
Once the oil is shimmering, add your meatballs and cook until the interior reaches about 145°F. Turn every few minutes to ensure all sides get nicely browned. Do not overcook or they will be dry.
-
Remove and strain excess oil on a wire rack or paper towels.
-
Serve with pita bread, tzatziki sauce, or any sauce you prefer for drizzling.
-
We recommend serving with a glass of Cabernet Franc and enjoy!
