I found this recipe in the weekend edition of the Wall St. Journal 's and had to give it a try, with a few minor changes. The meatballs are quite tasty and work well dipped in a little yogurt.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil shopping list
- 1 clove garlic, minced shopping list
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced shopping list
- 1 large shallot, minced shopping list
- 1 pound ground lamb shopping list
- 4 ounces salt pork, ground or finely minced shopping list
- Zest of 1 orange shopping list
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint shopping list
- Freshly ground black pepper shopping list
- Greek yogurt for dipping shopping list
How to make it
- Heat a small pan over medium heat and add oil, garlic, jalapeño and shallot, and cook for 1 minute, then let cool.
- Meanwhile, crumble lamb into a large bowl. Evenly scatter salt pork, orange zest and mint over lamb, and season with pepper. Sprinkle the cooled garlic mixture over lamb. Gently mix until just combined, then form into 1¼-inch balls and transfer to a plate or sheet pan.
- Heat a large cast iron pan over medium to medium high heat. Working in batches if necessary to prevent crowding, brown meatballs on all sides until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm with toothpicks or skewers with plain yogurt.
- Note: Meatballs can also be cooked ahead, refrigerated and reheated in the microwave on high for 2 minutes.
- Makes about 20 meatballs.
