Directions Greek Lamb Meatballs in Lemon Sauce
Directions
-
Beat milk and egg together in a large bowl. Stir in bread crumbs, mint, parsley, onion, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add ground lamb, mix well. Shape into 1-inch meatballs.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs, cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat and cover, cook until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Add milk, cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Simmer for 2 minutes more. Stir in lemon juice and zest.
Drain meatballs and transfer them to a serving dish. Spoon the lemon sauce on top.
