Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pounds ground lamb or 80 percent lean ground beef
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 4 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Grab yourself a big ol' plate and lay down some parchment paper on it - we're getting ready to make some tasty lamb meatballs!
  2. Now, in a roomy bowl, toss in that lamb, a proud egg yolk, some mint and parsley for a fresh kick, a bit of garlic, a smidge of mustard, plus a sprinkle of salt, pepper, oregano, and a dash of red pepper flakes. Get your hands in there and give it a good mix-up until everything's cozy together.
  3. Next, take a spoon or a handy-dandy small scoop and shape that meat mixture into little 1-inch round balls. Place 'em gently on your parchment-lined plate.
  4. Now, it's time to sizzle things up. Heat up some oil in a big ol' skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl that pan around to make sure the oil's covering the whole deal. Carefully lay down your meatballs in the pan, ensuring they're all snuggled in a single layer.
  5. Let 'em sizzle and fry away until they're all golden and cooked through, which should take you about 2 to 3 minutes per side. When they're nice and done, scoop 'em out and let 'em hang out for a sec on a plate lined with paper towels.
  6. And there you have it, some seriously scrumptious lamb meatballs, hot and ready to enjoy!
