Healthy Lamb Meatballs image

Lamb is usually a pretty fatty meat (with none of the good fats!). So I made up this recipe to satisfy my husband's cravings for lamb. Not only are they fast and easy, they are healthy and freeze well too. I serve this with rice and lentils (in rice cooker) with yogurt.

I loved the flavor of these meatballs, but they were a bit too dense for my liking. I think I'll try using a different type of breadcrumb next time.

These meatballs were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great. I used a mix of lamb and beef, and they were very flavorful. I served them with tzatziki sauce and pita bread, and they were a hit with my family.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and herbs, and it was much better. I also served them with a spicy tomato sauce, which helped to add some flavor.

These meatballs were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try them again with a different ratio of lamb to beef.
