Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Greek Lamb Meatballs with Lemon Sauce.
Step 1
In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until they form a smooth blend.
Step 2
Gently fold in the bread crumbs, fresh mint, parsley, chopped onion, dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
Step 3
Next, introduce the ground lamb to the mixture, combining it thoroughly before shaping the blend into bite-sized meatballs, about one inch in diameter.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then carefully add the meatballs.

Sear them for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they achieve a golden-brown crust.

Once browned, lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let the meatballs simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and no longer pink inside.

While the meatballs are cooking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Gradually pour in the milk, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and bubbles, which should take about 5 minutes.

Once the meatballs are perfectly cooked, drain any excess oil and transfer them to a serving dish.
