LAMB MEATBALLS WITH FETA, LEMON AND MINT RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:
- Make meatballs: In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients except oil. I like to do this with a fork. Using wet hands, form mixture into small (1 1/2 to 2-inch diameter) meatballs; I have taken to using a large (just shy of 3 tablespoon) cookie scoop for easy sizing. Brown meatballs: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and heat it through. Evenly space meatballs in pan and very carefully turn and roll them so that all sides become brown. Don't worry if they don't remain perfectly round; mine never do. Don't worry if some pieces become stuck to the pan; they will deliciously infuse the sauce in a minute. Drain meatballs on a paper towel-lined plate. [If you prefer not to fry your meatballs before cooking them in the sauce, you can cook them right in the sauce -- it will take about 10 minutes longer.] Make sauce and finish cooking meatballs: Pour out all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet and return to medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add wine or vermouth and scrape up any bits stuck to the pan. Cook until the liquid almost disappears. Add tomatoes, oregano, lemon zest, salt, pepper flakes, olives (if you're using them now), mint and parsley. Bring mixture to a simmer and return meatballs to the pan. Cover with a lid and cook at the lowest simmer for 20 to 24 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through. Squeeze lemon juice over meatballs and sauce. Serve: Sprinkled with additional olives, feta and herbs. We had this with orzo and a Greek salad.

Steps:
- First the sauce: pass the tomatoes through a food mill, toast the cumin seeds for a few minutes over medium heat, until they release their aroma and are lightly browned, pound them finely in a mortar. Heat a saucepan over medium high heat for 1 minute then add oil, the rosemary and chile and heat another minute. Add the onion, thyme, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne bay leaf and saute for 5-6 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the toms, sugar, juice and zest, heaping 1/2 tsp salt and some freshly ground pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes over medium low heat until reduced by one third. Taste for seasoning The meatballs: first of all, I would NEVER waste my time with lamb, preferring equal amounts freshly ground beef and pork in my kichenaid grinder. That said..... preheat oven to 400 In a large bowl mix together onions, cream, yolks, cinnamon, cumin, aleppo pepper and cayenne. Place the lamb in the bowl and season evenly with 2 1/2 tsp salt and lots of pepper. Add the breadcrumbs (this is where you can make it gluten free) and parsley. Combine the mixture well. Shape the balls into 1 1/2 oz balls, or use a cookie scoop and roll the contents after scooping out all the mixture into little piles. Pour the tomato sauce into a large oven to table baking dish Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the balls on it, spacing evenly after rolling them into balls. Turn the meatballs over during cooking. Watch the process as you don't want to overcook them as they will continue cooking in the sauce. When you suspect they are done, cut one in half and inspect for any lingering red colored uncooked meat. Once they are done remove tray from oven and warm up sauce on stovetop. Once the sauce has come to a slow boil, add the meatballs gently to the sauce coating all the meatballs, then bake in the oven for about 20 minutes I usually have a bag in the freezer of pureed leeks, or a roasted baby yam in the fridge. I have been known to add about 1/2 of pureed leek and one baby yam to the meat mixture. Meatballs are a great way to hide veg on the grandchildren. Don't be tempted to add butternut squash or any other squash, it's to squashyyyy tasting. Just the yam or/and pureed leek before serving add the crumbled feta and mint over the dish.

GREEK LAMB & FETA MEATBALLS
A recipe from one of my husband's colleagues. She said she usually just uses 1 lb of meat, since that's the typical pkg size and has substituted dried oregano, basil, parsley, and mint for the fresh herbs. It was a big hit at the party. Number of meatballs depends on how big you make each one; would work as an appetizer or part of a main dish.

LAMB AND FETA MEATBALLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE
Lamb and feta meatballs with tomato sauce is a simple, Greek inspired, rustic dish. In this recipe the sweetness of the lamb and tomatoes is contrasted beautifully by the salty tanginess of the Greek feta and fresh mint and complemented with crunchy pine nuts. Tip - Try using the feta and meat mixture to stuff small red peppers, then roast them for 45 minutes. Or you can flatten it into burgers and cook on the barbecue - serve with fresh mixed salad leaves.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and add the garlic. When the garlic sizzles, quickly add the tomatoes and a generous grinding of pepper. Cook over a high heat for about 4 minutes, until the tomatoes collapse.
- In a bowl, mix the lamb and herbs together. Add the egg, season, and use your hands to mix together until it forms a paste. Crumble the feta into medium-sized pieces and add half to the mixture. Form into 20 even-sized balls.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan - large enough to take the meatballs in one layer - until very hot. Add all the balls at once (or cook in 2 batches) and sear on 1 side; shake the pan to turn them all at once. Fry for a total of 6 minutes on high to brown on all sides. Don't worry if some fall apart. Lower the heat to medium, add the tomato and garlic sauce and stir.
- To serve, scatter the remaining feta over the meatballs and garnish with the lightly toasted pine nuts and extra mint leaves.

- Start by prepping your ingredients. If you can, let the meat and egg sit out for about 30 minutes before starting, this will make everything mix together easier. Measure out all of your ingredients and mince your garlic.
- In a large bowl, add the feta cheese to the ground lamb. Add in the water and lemon juice. Next, add in your almond flour, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
- In a small bowl, beat your eggs and then add them to the meat mixture. Mix meat mixture together well with your hands, and then roll into balls. These will make 24 large meatballs. You can always make them whatever size you want, but this will affect the cooking time.
- Warm you skillet over medium heat until it’s nice and hot. Add your olive oil to the skillet, then add in your meatballs. Brown the meatballs on all sides. They don’t need to be cooked all the way through, but they should be browned for juicy and moist meatballs. You might have to brown the meatballs in batches so there is enough room in your skillet, but we were able to manage doing this in one batch. You can definitely drain all the extra fat and liquid in the skillet, but we personally feel like it adds a lot of flavor, so we leave it in.

- In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients except the oil. I like to do this with a fork. Form the mixture into golf ball sized meatballs. Oil your hands so the meat doesn’t stick to your fingers. Always roll them lightly so they just hold together but they aren’t compressed to much. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
- While the meatballs set in the fridge, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and put it on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and let it "brown" in the pan. By doing this and sauteing it with the onions, you can boost the flavour of this dish in a big way. This method caramelizes the natural sugars in the tomato paste, making the sauce sweet and delicious. Then you add a little water to the pan and scrape up any bits stuck to the pan. Add the tomatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook at the lowest setting for 30 minutes.
- While the sauce is cooking you heat a little oil over a medium-high heat in a large frying pan and brown the meatballs. Don’t overcrowd the pan. Leave space so you can gently turn the meatballs around so they brown on all sides. You can fry the meatballs until cooked through but I prefer to finish them in the sauce. Once they are all browned, remove carefully with tongs and set aside on a plate. Repeat with the rest of the meatballs.
- Add the oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper flakes, olives, mint and parsley to the tomato sauce. Then add the browned meatballs, cover the pan and cook again at the lowest simmer for another 30 minutes. By then the meatballs should be cooked through.
