Recipe of the Day!

I went grocery shopping the other day and bought some ground lamb. I've never cooked with ground lamb so I thought I'd research for a recipe and post it. I plan to make this at some point this week.

I found this recipe on the paleo periodical website.

Lamb Feta Meatballs

Ingredients:

2 lbs. ground lamb

1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

3 garlic cloves, minced fine

1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

2 tsp. dried oregano

2 tsp. kosher salt

1-2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil (or cooking fat of choice)

Directions:

1) Preheat oven to 375° F.

2) Combine all ingredients in large bowl. With clean hands, work together until thoroughly mixed.

3) Scoop about a tablespoon of lamb mixture and work into a 1 1/2-inch sphere, repeating process until all lamb meatballs are made. Place on rimmed baking sheet.

4) Melt oil in large saute pan over medium-high heat. When pan is heated, fill with meatballs (being careful not to crowd) and press on them lightly so they sit upright. Cook until brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes, then flip each meatball and cook for another 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining meatballs until all are browned on both sides.

5) As you remove meatballs, place them on the rimmed baking sheet (again, taking care not to crowd). When all meatballs are on the baking sheet, put them in the oven and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Makes approximately 40 meatballs.

Personally, I'll only be making 1/2 of the recipe.

Something perfect to go with these lovely meatballs:

Make a greek salad! Simple ingredients I use for a greek salad are romaine lettuce, red onion, cucumbers, grape tomatoes & maybe some feta cheese. Dressing I just mix up some EVOO and apple cider vinegar with some salt & pepper to taste.
