Directions
Keftethakia-Lamb Meatballs, I got this recipe from a Greek boyfiends mother many years ago Prep time doesn’t include refrigeration of the raw mixture , My DH doesn’t really like lamb unless it’s done by Greeks, and preferably, the whole beast on a spit However, he declared these a hit, although he still prefers beef based meatballs I added some cumin While I was mixing the meat into the other ingredients, DH looked at the recipe and noticed there was no garlic I was ordered to stop mixing while he pureed 3 cloves Next time, we’ll add more mint and cumin We think these would be great inside some flatbread with tzatziki, tomatoes and lettuce , Super! I love lamb but never used ground lamb before I had 1 lb of ground lamb so I halved the recipe I added 2 cloves of pressed garlic used a tbsp of lemon juice and for the pepper just 1/4 tsp Some orzo and cut up some tomatoes with cucumbers for an Israeli type of salad and you have a delicious meal This would be nice with a tzatziki type of sauce as well I will make this again! Thank you!
