Ingredients:
– 1 pound ground lamb
– 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 egg, beaten
– 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Olive oil for frying
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground lamb, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, egg, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix everything together until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
2. Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1-2 inches in diameter. You should be able to make about 20-22 meatballs from the mixture.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned on all sides and cooked through.
4. Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
5. Serve the meatballs hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside pasta or a salad.
Tips:
– You can customize the seasonings in these lamb meatballs to your liking. Try adding chopped fresh mint, cumin, or coriander for an extra burst of flavor.
– If you don’t have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs or even crumbled crackers.
– Lamb meatballs can also be baked in a 375-degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and crispy on the outside.
In conclusion, lamb meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that everyone will love. With just a few simple ingredients and some basic cooking skills, you can whip up a batch of these tasty meatballs in no time.
