Ingredients
- 1 pound lamb ground
- ½ cup red onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley minced
- 2 teaspoons mint minced, fresh
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
For the Tzatziki
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cucumber small dice, Persian
- 1 lemon juiced, plus more if needed
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 2 tablespoons dill chopped, fresh
- salt Kosher salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- black pepper Kosher salt and freshly cracked, to taste
- ½ cup feta cheese
- parsley to garnish, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to broil.
- In a medium bowl, combine lamb with all of the meatball ingredients. Form the meat into golf ball sized balls. Place the meatballs two inches apart on the baking sheet, and position the baking sheet a few inches from the heat source. Broil for about 5-7 minutes, turning once halfway through. Alternatively you can bake these at 425 for 8-10 minutes.
- Combine the ingredients for the feta tzatziki. Serve alongside the meatballs for dipping.
Notes
- The lamb and the mint are a flavor combo you’ll be obsessed with so if you’re game for lamb, go for it! If not, you could easily sub ground beef, ground pork, ground chicken, or ground turkey in this recipe and it will still be delish.
