GREEK LAMB & FETA MEATBALLS



Greek Lamb & Feta Meatballs image

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 image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed with 1/4 tsp salt
4 large tomatoes, skinned, deseeded and roughly chopped
1 lb ground lamb
1 ounce of fresh mint, leaves picked and chopped, plus extra leaves to serve
1 ounce flat leaf parsley, leaves picked and chopped
1 egg
7 ounces feta
2 ounces pine nuts, lightly toasted
salt and pepper

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.

GREEK LAMB MEATBALLS



Greek Lamb Meatballs image

Made when I wanted lamb meatballs to freeze for lunches, but couldn't find a recipe that used what I had on hand.

Provided by IngridH

Categories     Meatballs

Time 25m

Yield 20 meatballs, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb ground lamb
1 tablespoon Cavenders All Purpose Greek Seasoning (or whatever Greek seasoning you prefer)
1 tablespoon dried dill weed
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Combine lamb, Greek Seasoning, and dill.
  • Roll meat mixture into 20 meatballs.
  • Sprinkle balls with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add half of the meatballs, and cook, turning the balls to brown on all sides.
  • When meatballs are brown, transfer to a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
  • When all meatballs are browned, place the sheet in the oven and cook for 10- 12 minutes, or until the balls are cooked through.
  • Place balls on a cooling rack covered with paper towels to drain excess grease.
  • At this point, I cool, freeze, and reheat later. I like to serve with tzatziki sauce and Greek salad, or use as a lunchbox filler. Feel free to sauce however you wish.
