Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

500 g (1lb) ground/minced lamb
500 g (1lb) ground/minced beef
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
½ cup feta cheese (crumbled)
1 small red onion (finely minced )
2 garlic cloves (crushed )
zest of 1 lemon
3 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp rosemary (finely chopped)
½ cup parsley (finely chopped)
2 tsp salt
1-2 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients and mix until the ingredients are just combined, taking care not to over mix (this can cause the meatballs to be very dense).
  • To mix the meatballs: With wet hands (this prevents the meat from sticking to your hands), form meatballs of approximately 3cm/1in and place on a chopping board.
  • To fry the meatballs: pre-heat a non-stick frying pan and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Fry the meatballs in batches until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
  • To bake the meatballs: Pre-heat the oven to 220ºC. Line 2 baking sheets with baking/parchment paper and add the meatballs, keeping some space between them. Drizzle the meatballs with 1-2 tbsp olive oil and place in the oven. Allow to bake, turning over halfway, until golden brown and cooked through (approximately 20-30 minutes).
  • Remove the meatballs from the heat, drizzle with lemon juice (optional) and serve.
