Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground lamb
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 unit Large egg
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients with your hands or a spatula until well combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the meatballs tough.
Using your hands, form the mixture into approximately 1.5-inch meatballs. You should have about 16 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the meatballs to the skillet. Sear them on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the meatballs rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm with your choice of sides, such as pasta, rice, or a fresh salad.
