Serves 4
Preparation 15 minutes
Cooking 8 minutes

Ingredients


600g lean minced lamb

Zest of 1 and juice of half a lemon

½ cup mint leaves, chopped

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 cup Greek yoghurt

Grilled lemon wedges, baked potatoes and spinach or chard, to serve


Method


Mix the lamb with the lemon zest, mint, cumin and coriander and season with salt and pepper. Roll into meatballs roughly the size of a walnut.

Mix the yoghurt and lemon juice together and season with salt and pepper.

Preheat a large, lidded frying pan over a moderate heat. Gently roll the meatballs in some olive oil and cook for 4 minutes or until nicely browned. Cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for 4 minutes or until cooked through.
