Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
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.
