Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

⅓ cup milk
1 egg
⅓ cup dry bread crumbs
⅓ cup snipped fresh mint
⅓ cup snipped fresh parsley
¼ cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 clove garlic, minced
¾ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
1 pound ground lamb
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 dash ground black pepper
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Beat milk and egg together in a large bowl. Stir in bread crumbs, mint, parsley, onion, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add ground lamb; mix well. Shape into 1-inch meatballs.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs; cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat and cover; cook until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Add milk; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Simmer for 2 minutes more. Stir in lemon juice and zest.
  • Drain meatballs and transfer them to a serving dish. Spoon the lemon sauce on top.

I'm not a huge fan of Greek food, but these meatballs were really good. The lemon sauce was the perfect balance of tangy and creamy.

These meatballs were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I will add some more spices next time.

These meatballs were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I will add some more moisture next time, maybe some bread crumbs or grated zucchini.

These meatballs were so easy to make and they turned out so flavorful! I used ground turkey instead of lamb and they were still delicious.
