Meatballs:

⅓ cup milk

1 egg

⅓ cup dry bread crumbs

⅓ cup snipped fresh mint

⅓ cup snipped fresh parsley

¼ cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

1 clove garlic, minced

¾ teaspoon salt

1 pinch ground black pepper to taste

1 pound ground lamb

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Lemon Sauce:

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt

1 dash ground black pepper

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Beat milk and egg together in a large bowl. Stir in bread crumbs, mint, parsley, onion, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add ground lamb; mix well. Shape into 1-inch meatballs.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs; cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat and cover; cook until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Add milk; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Simmer for 2 minutes more. Stir in lemon juice and zest.

Drain meatballs and transfer them to a serving dish. Spoon the lemon sauce on top.
