Sasha's Kitchen: Lamb Meatballs
I came up with this delicious recipe for ancho chile flavored lamb meatballs the other night which was just perfect. The little delicious meatballs are perfect as either a main course for two, or as an appetizer at a party. I like serving them with some pomegranate seeds as a garnish in a martini glass for some extra pizzaz. The sweet potato adds flavor, moisture and a bit of color to these delicious meatballs. Remember to make them small - they are cuter that way!
Sasha's Lamb Meatballs
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3 tsp ancho chile powder
3/4 of a small sweet potato, grated
1 lb ground lamb
3 scallions, minced
1 1/2 tsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp finely peeled ginger
1/4 tsp kosher salt
pomegranate seeds (as a garnish)
Combine all of the above ingredients and work them into the meat. You can either pan cook the meatballs in a bit of oil, and then bake them through for about 15 minutes, or bake them for about 40 minutes at 350. Serve with a garnish of pomegranate seeds.
