Delicious meatball appetizers!
Ingredients for the meatballs:
1 pound ground lamb
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup sliced green onions
2 Tablespoon bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
Ingredients for the Tzatziki sauce:
1 cup peeled and shredded cucumber
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup plain Greek yoghurt
2 cloves minced garlic
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 Tablespoons minced fresh mint
Instructions:
In large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients. Using your hands, thoroughly combine the mixture.
Cover and refrigerate for one hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll lamb mixture into 1 1/2 inch meatballs. Lay onto prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until meatballs are slightly crispy on the outside and no longer pink inside.
Serve immediately with tzatziki sauce.
For the tzatziki sauce, place shredded cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat evenly. Let the cucumber sit over a bowl for about 30 minutes. Press the cucumber to remove as much water as possible. Combine with remaining ingredients. Keep cold until ready to use.
