Minted Lamb Meatballs Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Mint, cumin, paprika, grated onion, and tender ground lamb make easy and super flavorful meatballs. The cayenne is completely optional, but those who like more intense flavors will appreciate its gentle presence; it doesn't make these meatballs spicy, it just adds a bit of extra je ne sais quoi. Proper browning is the most important element of these meatballs, so be sure to cook them in a single, spacious layer, working in batches, if necessary. Serve them with rice, rice pilaf, or pita bread with some yogurt tahini lemon sauce on the side. A simple, crisp green salad is a winning touch.
