1/4 cup/60ml milk
1 pound/450g lean ground lamb
1/2 cup/125ml grated Pecorino cheese
1 tablespoon/15ml Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon/15ml paprika
1 teaspoon/5ml sambal oelek
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons/45ml olive oil
1 onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, finely diced
1 celery rib, finely diced
1/2 fresh red chile pepper, minced
2 cups/500ml canned tomatoes
4 large fresh tomatoes, diced
2 sprigs fresh oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup/60ml soft goat cheese
A handful fresh parsley, chopped
Naan Bread, recipe follows, warmed and buttered, for serving
1 teaspoon/5ml active dry yeast
2 tablespoons/30ml sugar
1 teaspoon/5ml salt
2 1/2 cups/625ml all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
Canola oil, for the bowl and skillet
1/2 cup/125ml butter, clarified or melted

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk. In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumb mixture, lamb, cheese, mustard, paprika, sambal, garlic, shallots and some salt and pepper. Form the mixture into about 20 small meatballs.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the meatballs on all sides until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • For the sauce: In the same skillet, saute the onions until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, carrots, celery and chiles and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the canned and fresh tomatoes, the oregano and 1/4 cup (60ml) water. Season with salt and pepper. Add the meatballs to the skillet and simmer until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Divide the meatballs among plates and spoon the sauce on top. Add a spoonful of goat cheese and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with Naan Bread.
  • In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast with the sugar and salt in 1 cup (250ml) warm water. Let stand until frothy, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, turning to coat, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Flatten the dough with your hands. Divide the dough into 8 pieces, each about the size of a golf ball. Roll into balls and place on a baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
  • Roll one ball of dough into a thin round on a lightly floured surface. Lightly oil a cast-iron skillet and heat until hot. Add the dough and cook until puffy and lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and brush the cooked side with butter. Continue cooking until browned, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining dough.

LAMB MEATBALLS WITH SPICED TOMATO SAUCE



Lamb Meatballs With Spiced Tomato Sauce image

Here is a recipe from the Los Angeles chef Suzanne Goin that plays to children as well as to the most sophisticated of palates. It is for crisp lamb meatballs cooked through in a fragrant, vaguely North African sauce of tomato sauce zipped up with orange juice and warm spices, then topped with feta and mint. Ms. Goin first served the dish at one of her Los Angeles restaurants, and put it into ''The A.O.C. Cookbook'' (2013), devoted to that restaurant's food. A version of the dish was later introduced to the menu of her children's school. It can be cooked in an hour's time, not all of it busy, and served with pita or plain pasta, bulgur or couscous.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 medium onion, peeled and finely diced
¼ cup heavy cream
2 egg yolks, extra-large
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch red-pepper flakes
Pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 pounds ground lamb
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup bread crumbs
¼ cup chopped parsley
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small sprig rosemary
Red-pepper flakes to taste
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon white sugar
¼ cup orange juice
1 3-inch strip of orange peel, pith removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons thinly sliced mint leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. In a large bowl, mix together the onion, cream, egg yolks, cinnamon, cumin, red pepper and cayenne. Put the lamb in the bowl, and season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Add the bread crumbs and parsley, and combine the mixture well. Shape the meat into balls that are a little larger than golf balls.
  • Grease a baking pan with olive oil, and put the meatballs onto it, spaced evenly. Place beneath the broiler, and cook, turning once or twice, until the meatballs are well browned, approximately 5 to 7 minutes, then set meatballs aside. Turn oven to 400.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pass the tomatoes through a food mill, or whizz them quickly in a food processor. Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat for a minute, then add olive oil, rosemary and red pepper and shake to combine. Cook for another minute, then add onion, thyme, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne and bay leaf and sauté until the onions are translucent, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, sugar, orange juice and peel, along with salt and pepper.
  • Cook for 8 to 10 minutes over medium-low heat, until reduced by a third. Adjust seasoning.
  • Pour the tomato sauce into a large baking dish that you can put on the table. Transfer the meatballs to the sauce, putting them about ½ inch from each other. Bake for 15 or 20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the meatballs are cooked through.
  • Top with crumbled feta and scattered mint.

Mongolian Beef Meatballs image

Everything you love about Mongolian beef, but in meatball form! This is a quick easy dinner that pairs well with rice or Chinese noodles.

Provided by Arlyn Osborne

Categories     Meatballs

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 large egg
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated garlic
1 teaspoon grated ginger
3 scallions, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons grated garlic
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 cups cooked rice
1/4 cup sliced scallion
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
  • Beat the egg in a large bowl with a fork, then add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and scallions. Stir in the panko, then add the ground beef, tearing into small pieces before adding to the bowl.
  • Mix together by hand until completely combined, then use a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop or spoon to make meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet. Shape the meatballs into smooth round balls. Bake until cooked through, 15 to 17 minutes.
  • For the sauce: Whisk to combine the dark brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and 1 cup water in a large skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Whisk the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir into the simmering sauce, then add the cooked meatballs and cook until the sauce is thickened and the meatballs are coated, about 30 seconds.
  • For the rice and garnishes: Serve the meatballs over rice and garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality lamb: Look for lamb that is fresh, well-marbled, and has a good fat-to-lean ratio. This will ensure that your meatballs are juicy and flavorful.
  • Grind the lamb yourself: This will give you more control over the texture of your meatballs. If you don't have a meat grinder, you can ask your butcher to grind the lamb for you.
  • Season the lamb well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of spices and herbs in your meatballs. This will help to give them a lot of flavor.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs are lighter and airier than regular breadcrumbs, which will help to keep your meatballs light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the lamb mixture: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
  • Form the meatballs into uniform sizes: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Brown the meatballs before simmering them: This will help to develop their flavor and give them a nice crust.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will really make your Mongolian lamb meatballs shine. Be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of sweet, sour, and spicy.
  • Serve the meatballs over rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Mongolian lamb meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are also a great appetizer or party food. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make these meatballs at home. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe, give Mongolian lamb meatballs a try.
