Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried Greek oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 medium eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 lb ground lamb
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment or foil. Brush the parchment lightly with olive oil.
- In a small bowl mix together your flavourings: oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the breadcrumbs and toss to combine.
- In a larger bowl, beat the eggs lightly with a fork. Pour in the milk. Zest an entire lemon into the bowl and mix well. Add the spiced breadcrumbs and fresh parsley and mix to combine.
- Add the ground meat to the bowl. Use your hands to mix everything together gently. Don't worry about getting it perfect - over mixing will make your meatballs tough.
- Divide the dough into four rough balls. Roll 12 meatballs from each larger ball - for a total of 48. They should be about 1 1/2-inches across, about the size of a ping pong ball.
- Place 24 meatballs on each baking sheet and place in the oven on the middle and lower racks. Bake for 6 minutes, then rotate the pans. Bake for 6 more minutes.
- Meatballs are cooked through within 12 to 14 minutes, as ovens may vary. They should be firm, yet tender when pressed!
- Serve hot with a side of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of chopped fresh Mediterranean herbs. Cool and freeze any leftovers.
Notes
- I like a mix of dried and fresh Mediterranean herbs in these meatballs. Use what you have, including: dill, thyme, oregano, sage or parsley.
- DO AHEAD: Whip up a recipe or two of these mini meatballs on a cool day when you don't mid having the oven on. Cool completely, then freeze in batches of 12 for future appetizers and picnics.
