Main Dishes

Ground lamb takes beautifully to bold Mediterranean flavours, and these meatballs prove it in every bite. Crumbled feta melts into the mix while parsley, mint, garlic, and cumin add fresh, warm depth, and a quick pan-sear gives them a browned, savoury crust. Spoon them over rice, couscous, or orzo with a cool yogurt sauce, and dinner feels like a trip to a seaside taverna.

Ingredients

1 Lb Ground Lamb
1/2 Cup Feta Cheese - Crumbled
1/4 Cup Parsley - Finely Chopped
2 Tbsp Mint - Finely Chopped
2 Cloves Garlic - Minced
1 Tsp Dried Oregano
1/2 Tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 Tsp Onion Powder
1 Large Egg
1/3 Cup Bread Crumbs
1 Tsp Salt And Pepper - To Taste
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1-2 Tbsp Lemon Yogurt Sauce

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, feta, parsley, mint, garlic, oregano, cumin, onion powder, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
Form into 16–18 meatballs, about 1½ inches in diameter.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the meatballs for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
While the meatballs cook, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper.
Serve the meatballs over rice, couscous, or orzo with the lemon yogurt sauce spooned over the top.
Garnish with extra parsley, crumbled feta, and lemon wedges.
