Lamb Meatballs

Ingredients:

500g lamb mince

100g fresh bread crumbs

1 teaspoon mixed herbs (Italian if possible)

1 onion finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic finely chopped

1 egg

Olive oil

Flour to roll meatballs

Method:

• Gently fry onions & garlic in olive oil until soft & golden.
• While they are frying make breadcrumbs using a food processor.
• Add the cooked onion/garlic to the breadcrumbs & whiz for a minute.
• Add the minced lamb, egg, & herbs & whiz until all ingredients are combined. (NOT for too long – you don’t want pate)
• Put some flour on a plate & flour your hands then take a bit of the meat mixture (about the size of a golf ball) roll in the flour & then using you hands roll into a neat meatball. Continue until all the meat mixture is used up.
• Heat a little olive oil into the frying pan, cook all the meatballs together. Turn them to brown them all over & then turn the heat down low & cook the meatballs for about 10 minutes, turning them frequently to stop them burning.
• Serve with pasta in tomato or pesto sauce.
