Ingredients

Lamb Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1 small yellow onion finely minced, optional
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • zest from half a lemon plus lemon wedges for serving
  • 1 large egg
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Horseradish Dipping Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, toss together your ground lamb, onion, breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, chives, garlic powder, cumin powder, chili flakes, lemon zest, egg, kosher salt and black pepper. Mix really well (I like to use my hands!) until completely incorporated. Set aside while you make your dipping sauce.
  • In a small to medium bowl, mix your mayo, sour cream, chives, horseradish, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix well and set in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and take a small 1-ounce cookie scoop or tablespoon and scoop your meatballs. Shape in your hand in an even ball and place on the baking sheet, it makes about 15 to 16 meatballs.
  • Transfer to the top rack of your oven to bake for 10 to 12 minutes, and then place on broil for the last 5 minutes. Serve with your Horseradish Dipping Sauce and lemon wedges for squeezing over top!
