Fried Lamb Meatballs

2 Medium slices of bread, crusts removed
500g Minced (ground) lamb
1 Onion
1 Tsp dried Thyme and Oregano
3 Tbsp Chopped Flat Leaf Parsley (extra for serving)
1 Egg, lightly beaten
Salt & Pepper
Lemon Wedges, to serve

For Frying
25g Plain Flour (all purpose)
2-3 Tbsp Vegetable Oil


Serves 4



Preparation 10-15 Minutes                                                                                     Cooking  5 Minutes


  1. Soak the slices of bread in a shallow bowl of water for 5 minutes. While the bread is soaking, grate or very finely chop the onion.


  2. Drain the bread, using clean hands, squeeze it dry and put it in a large bowl. Add the meat, onion, dried herbs, parsley, egg, salt & pepper to the bread. Mix together using your hands, until well blended.


  3. Shape the meat mixture into individual balls about the size of a walnut, and roll them in the flour to give them a light dusting, shaking off any excess coating.


  4. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, when its hot, add the meatballs and fry for about 5 minutes, turning them frequently, until they are cooked through and look crisp and brown.


  5. Using a slotted spoon, lift out the meatballs and drain on a double sheet of kitchen paper, to get rid of any excess oil. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.



Theses meatballs are great to eat with pitta bread, salad and sour cream.
