LAMB MEATBALLS WITH SPICED TOMATO SAUCE



Lamb Meatballs With Spiced Tomato Sauce image

Here is a recipe from the Los Angeles chef Suzanne Goin that plays to children as well as to the most sophisticated of palates. It is for crisp lamb meatballs cooked through in a fragrant, vaguely North African sauce of tomato sauce zipped up with orange juice and warm spices, then topped with feta and mint. Ms. Goin first served the dish at one of her Los Angeles restaurants, and put it into ''The A.O.C. Cookbook'' (2013), devoted to that restaurant's food. A version of the dish was later introduced to the menu of her children's school. It can be cooked in an hour's time, not all of it busy, and served with pita or plain pasta, bulgur or couscous.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

1 medium onion, peeled and finely diced
¼ cup heavy cream
2 egg yolks, extra-large
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch red-pepper flakes
Pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 pounds ground lamb
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup bread crumbs
¼ cup chopped parsley
1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small sprig rosemary
Red-pepper flakes to taste
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
½ teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon white sugar
¼ cup orange juice
1 3-inch strip of orange peel, pith removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons thinly sliced mint leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. In a large bowl, mix together the onion, cream, egg yolks, cinnamon, cumin, red pepper and cayenne. Put the lamb in the bowl, and season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Add the bread crumbs and parsley, and combine the mixture well. Shape the meat into balls that are a little larger than golf balls.
  • Grease a baking pan with olive oil, and put the meatballs onto it, spaced evenly. Place beneath the broiler, and cook, turning once or twice, until the meatballs are well browned, approximately 5 to 7 minutes, then set meatballs aside. Turn oven to 400.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pass the tomatoes through a food mill, or whizz them quickly in a food processor. Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat for a minute, then add olive oil, rosemary and red pepper and shake to combine. Cook for another minute, then add onion, thyme, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne and bay leaf and sauté until the onions are translucent, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, sugar, orange juice and peel, along with salt and pepper.
  • Cook for 8 to 10 minutes over medium-low heat, until reduced by a third. Adjust seasoning.
  • Pour the tomato sauce into a large baking dish that you can put on the table. Transfer the meatballs to the sauce, putting them about ½ inch from each other. Bake for 15 or 20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the meatballs are cooked through.
  • Top with crumbled feta and scattered mint.

LAMB AND FETA MEATBALLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE



Lamb and Feta Meatballs With Tomato Sauce image

Lamb and feta meatballs with tomato sauce is a simple, Greek inspired, rustic dish. In this recipe the sweetness of the lamb and tomatoes is contrasted beautifully by the salty tanginess of the Greek feta and fresh mint and complemented with crunchy pine nuts. Tip - Try using the feta and meat mixture to stuff small red peppers, then roast them for 45 minutes. Or you can flatten it into burgers and cook on the barbecue - serve with fresh mixed salad leaves.

Categories     Lamb/Sheep

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed with 1/4 tsp salt
4 large tomatoes, skinned, deseeded and roughly chopped
1 lb ground lamb
1 ounce of fresh mint, leaves picked and chopped, plus extra leaves to serve
1 ounce flat leaf parsley, leaves picked and chopped
1 egg
7 ounces feta
2 ounces pine nuts, lightly toasted
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and add the garlic. When the garlic sizzles, quickly add the tomatoes and a generous grinding of pepper. Cook over a high heat for about 4 minutes, until the tomatoes collapse.
  • In a bowl, mix the lamb and herbs together. Add the egg, season, and use your hands to mix together until it forms a paste. Crumble the feta into medium-sized pieces and add half to the mixture. Form into 20 even-sized balls.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan - large enough to take the meatballs in one layer - until very hot. Add all the balls at once (or cook in 2 batches) and sear on 1 side; shake the pan to turn them all at once. Fry for a total of 6 minutes on high to brown on all sides. Don't worry if some fall apart. Lower the heat to medium, add the tomato and garlic sauce and stir.
  • To serve, scatter the remaining feta over the meatballs and garnish with the lightly toasted pine nuts and extra mint leaves.

LAMB MEATBALLS WITH SPICED TOMATO SAUCE, MINT, AND FETA RECIPE - (4.9/5)



Lamb Meatballs with spiced tomato sauce, mint, and feta Recipe - (4.9/5) image

Provided by Chezlamere

Number Of Ingredients 28

3/4 cup finely diced onion
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 XL egg yolks
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp crushed aleppo pepper
pinch cayenne pepper
2 lbs ground lamb (or beef/pork combo)
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
1 recipe spiced tomato sauce (recipe follows)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 lb feta cheese
2 tbsp sliced mint leaves
salt and pepper
Spiced tomato sauce
3 cups canned san marzano or muir glen tomatoes (or italian plum)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
3 tbsp olive oil (i use grape seed)
1 small sprig rosemary
1 chile de arbol, crumbled
1 cup diced onion
1 tsp thyme leaves
pinch ground cinnamon
pinch cayenne pepper
1 bag leaf
1/2 tsp sugar
1/4 c freshly squeezed orange juice plus 3 inch strip of orange zest
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • First the sauce: pass the tomatoes through a food mill, toast the cumin seeds for a few minutes over medium heat, until they release their aroma and are lightly browned, pound them finely in a mortar. Heat a saucepan over medium high heat for 1 minute then add oil, the rosemary and chile and heat another minute. Add the onion, thyme, cumin, cinnamon and cayenne bay leaf and saute for 5-6 minutes until the onion is translucent. Add the toms, sugar, juice and zest, heaping 1/2 tsp salt and some freshly ground pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes over medium low heat until reduced by one third. Taste for seasoning The meatballs: first of all, I would NEVER waste my time with lamb, preferring equal amounts freshly ground beef and pork in my kichenaid grinder. That said..... preheat oven to 400 In a large bowl mix together onions, cream, yolks, cinnamon, cumin, aleppo pepper and cayenne. Place the lamb in the bowl and season evenly with 2 1/2 tsp salt and lots of pepper. Add the breadcrumbs (this is where you can make it gluten free) and parsley. Combine the mixture well. Shape the balls into 1 1/2 oz balls, or use a cookie scoop and roll the contents after scooping out all the mixture into little piles. Pour the tomato sauce into a large oven to table baking dish Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and place the balls on it, spacing evenly after rolling them into balls. Turn the meatballs over during cooking. Watch the process as you don't want to overcook them as they will continue cooking in the sauce. When you suspect they are done, cut one in half and inspect for any lingering red colored uncooked meat. Once they are done remove tray from oven and warm up sauce on stovetop. Once the sauce has come to a slow boil, add the meatballs gently to the sauce coating all the meatballs, then bake in the oven for about 20 minutes I usually have a bag in the freezer of pureed leeks, or a roasted baby yam in the fridge. I have been known to add about 1/2 of pureed leek and one baby yam to the meat mixture. Meatballs are a great way to hide veg on the grandchildren. Don't be tempted to add butternut squash or any other squash, it's to squashyyyy tasting. Just the yam or/and pureed leek before serving add the crumbled feta and mint over the dish.

GREEK LAMB & FETA MEATBALLS



Greek Lamb & Feta Meatballs image

A recipe from one of my husband's colleagues. She said she usually just uses 1 lb of meat, since that's the typical pkg size and has substituted dried oregano, basil, parsley, and mint for the fresh herbs. It was a big hit at the party. Number of meatballs depends on how big you make each one; would work as an appetizer or part of a main dish.
