Lamb Meatballs With Tzaziki

Ingredients

1 pound ground lamb

½ cup red onion finely chopped

3 cloves garlic minced

1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley minced

2 teaspoons fresh mint minced

1 egg

2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs

1½ teaspoons kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the Tzatziki

1 cup Greek Yogurt

1 Persian cucumbers small dice

1 lemon juiced, plus more if needed

3 cloves garlic finely minced

2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

½ cup feta

chopped parsley to garnish

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 five minutes, turning once halfway through.

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 substitute for our ground beef or ground pork.
