Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 lb ground lamb
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup chopped green olives
1/4 cup chopped black olives
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons italian seasoning

Steps:

Preheat oven's broiler.
Mix all the ingredients in large bowl.
Shape into medium sized meatballs--no bigger then a golf ball.
Place the meatballs two inches apart on a baking sheet.
Broil about 3 inches away from heat until they are golden brown on the top, about 3 to 4 minutes depending on the size of the meatball.
Turn the ball over and broil the other side.
Best served on Mediterranean jasmine rice or with cheese crackers and wine, a nice merlot.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use a combination of ground lamb and ground beef.
Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatball mixture. This will help to keep the meatballs moist and tender.
Grate the feta cheese finely. This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the meatballs.
Use a light hand when mixing the meatball mixture. Overworking the mixture can make the meatballs tough.
Chill the meatball mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the meatballs to hold their shape.
Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
Serve the meatballs with a simple tomato sauce, tzatziki sauce, or your favorite Greek yogurt sauce.
