Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 unit garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 large tomato
- 4 units crusty sandwich rolls
- 1 cup mixed greens
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until well combined.
Form the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs (approximately 16 meatballs) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the meatballs with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
While the meatballs bake, prepare the yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Mix well and set aside.
Thinly slice the cucumber and tomato. Split the sandwich rolls in half and toast them lightly if desired.
Once the meatballs are done, assemble the sandwiches. Spread a generous amount of yogurt sauce on the bottom half of each roll, then layer with mixed greens, cucumber slices, tomato slices, and 4 meatballs.
Top with additional yogurt sauce if desired, then place the top half of the roll on the sandwich. Serve warm and enjoy!
