Time 1h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

½ cup dry bread crumbs
½ cup milk
1 ¼ pounds ground lamb
1 egg, beaten
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 cups tomato sauce
1 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; oil lightly.
  • Combine bread crumbs and milk in a small bowl. Soak bread crumbs until milk is absorbed, about 30 minutes.

  • Form lamb mixture into 2-inch meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook meatballs in the preheated oven until they are slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Combine meatballs, tomato sauce, chicken stock, fresh mint, and red pepper flakes in a large sauce pan over medium heat until meatballs are no longer pink inside, about 45 minutes.

The meatballs were a bit dry, but the sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this dish again, but I would add more moisture to the meatballs.
