Mom's Ground Lamb/ Carrot Balls image

I loved it when mom made these lamb balls. It's a great way to use up left over roasted lamb too. Serve with new minted potatoes, fresh peas & a salad.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield approximately 78 lamb meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound ground lamb
1/4 cup finely chopped scallions
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons semolina
1 egg
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Put the lamb into a bowl and add the scallions. Sprinkle over the spices, salt, and semolina, and then beat the egg adding to the bowl. Work everything together thoroughly with your hands, and then cover with plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator for half an hour.
  • Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap and scoop out a scant teaspoon of the mixture. Roll in your hands to form the meatball and place on the lined baking sheet. Have a bowl of cold water beside you to dampen your hands with; this helps them not get too sticky for rolling the meatballs.
  • When you are ready to cook them, heat about 1/2-inch of oil in a frying pan. Line another baking sheet with kitchen towel, and when the oil is hot, fry the meatballs in batches without overcrowding the pan. Cook them for about a minute a side, or until golden brown all over.

CARROT MEATBALLS

This is a variation from an OLD Betty Crocker cookbook. My son asks for these regularly!! They're a great way to get kids to eat veggies, they're fairly low calorie, and scrumptious, to boot! We usually eat them with rice and salad. I also tend to make a double recipe because they're great as leftovers, too. (if you get tired of making meatballs, save the meat and make more the next day, OR make an egg stirfry with spinach! That's tasty too, I've found!) Also, please keep in mind that the Prep-time listed is for using a Salad Shooter or similar for grating the carrots. If you don't have something like that, doing the grating by hand should add another 15 minutes or so, depending on you!

Time 35m

Yield 20-30 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb hamburger, ground lamb, turkey or chicken, or any combination there-of
1 1/2 cups grated carrots (peeling is optional)
1 medium onion, minced or grated
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon basil (I prefer fresh buds from my live-plant!)
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare all ingrediatns as listed above and mix well. I prefer using my stand-mixer with the open paddle-blade.
  • Form into 1/8 cup meatballs and place in a baking pan, preferably a broiler pan, especially if using a higher-fat content meat. (I use an 1/8 cup measuring spoon and pack the meat into it on the side of the bowl, then use another spoon to pull it out and form the balls a little better on the pan--quicker than trying to do it by hand and less messy!).
  • Bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes. (The cook book suggested frying them, and serving with a brown gravy, but baking is healthier, and the gravy only covers the great flavor!).
