Lamb Meatballs with Mint
A standout tapa, meatballs made with the classic combination of lamb and mint.
Ingredients
- 0.5 kg lamb mince
- 1 egg
- 75 g dry bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp mint finely chopped
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 140 ml extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion medium, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped
- 150 ml dry white wine
- 150 ml beef stock
- 250 ml tomato puree
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the lamb with the egg, bread crumbs and 1 tablespoon of the mint. Season with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Heat the olive oil in a very large skillet. Add the meatballs and fry over moderately high heat until browned all over, about 4 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to a plate.
- Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of mint and puree.
