Elkészítési Lépések
1
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and parsley. In a bowl, combine the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped vegetables, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
To prevent the meatballs from being too dry, soak the breadcrumbs in a little milk or water before adding them to the mixture.
2
Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut. Place them on a tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
Chilling the meatballs before cooking helps them hold their shape better during frying.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Don't overcrowd the skillet when frying the meatballs. Fry them in batches to ensure they brown evenly and cook through.
4
For the mint sauce, finely chop the mint leaves and mix them with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
For a smoother sauce, use a blender or food processor to combine the ingredients. You can also add a touch of honey for sweetness.
5
Serve the lamb meatballs hot with the mint sauce on the side. Garnish with extra mint leaves for a fresh touch.
These meatballs are also delicious served in pita bread with lettuce, tomato, and a drizzle of mint sauce.
