Ingredients

Meatballs

⅓ cup chopped red onion
¼ cup fresh parsley
2 garlic cloves
1 lb ground lamb
1 egg lightly beaten
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
2 Tablespoon breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Herb Yogurt Sauce

½ cup Greek yogurt
2 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tablespoon fresh parsley
1 Tablespoon cilantro
2 garlic cloves minced
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Meatballs

Preheat your oven to 425F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Add red onion, parsley, and garlic cloves to the bowl of a mini processor to chop them up. If you don’t have a food processor, just chop them up finely with a knife.
Add this mixture to a large bowl with the ground lamb, crumbled feta cheese, breadcrumbs, ground coriander, kosher salt, dried oregano, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix until just combined. Don’t overmix.
Roll them into about 20 meatballs and place them on the prepared sheet pan.
Bake in the oven on the middle rack for 20 minutes, until the meatballs are done and have reached an internal temperature of 165F.

Herb Yogurt Sauce

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining Greek yogurt, lemon juice, parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl and whisk to combine. Serve alongside the finished meatballs.

Notes

To make these in an air fryer, place the meatballs in your air fryer basket and cook the meatballs at 400F for 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
