Meatballs
Makes 20 meatballs
- 1 lb Foxhollow ground lamb
- ½ red onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 small bunch parsley, minced
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbs olive oil
Whipped Feta
- 8oz feta cheese
- ⅓ cup cream
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1.5 tbs lemon juice
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ - ⅓ cup olive oil
Instructions:
Meatballs:
Preheat the oven to 400°. Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion & saute until softened, 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, & red pepper flakes & saute until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from the heat & set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the lamb, panko, egg, salt, pepper, & cooled onion-garlic mixture. Add 1 tbs of the minced parsley & use clean hands to combine all ingredients together. Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, form lamb into equal sized balls, around 1.5 tbs of the lamb mixture per ball. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet & bake for 14 minutes. Check to ensure meatballs are fully cooked through. Remove from the oven & serve atop whipped feta, garnishing with remaining parsley & drizzle of olive oil.
Whipped Feta:
Combine all ingredients except for the olive oil in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until well combined. Once the feta is well broken down, leave the blade running & pour the olive oil in through the feed tube. Taste & add additional salt, pepper, lemon juice & olive until desired
