    Preparation Steps

    1

    Finely chop the onion, garlic cloves, and parsley. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped vegetables, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

    2

    Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.

    3

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.

    4

    To make the mint sauce, finely chop the mint leaves and combine them with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a grind of black pepper. Stir well.

    5

    Serve the lamb meatballs hot with the mint sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a vibrant finish.
