Ok, ok, not meatballs exactly perhaps, but flattened meatballs. Or patties. Burgers? In Swedish, they'd be called "biffar", which is also the same word as for "steaks", so it's not very useful in this case. Anyway - whatever you call them, they are utterly delicious. We had them as part of a small spread with tzatziki and pitta bread, but they'd also be perfect with pasta and tomato sauce.
I recently bought another half lamb, so my freezer is stuffed with it - or well, slightly older lamb really, but it's very tasty.
Lamb Pine Nut Meatballs
(printable recipe)
Serves 2
250 g minced lamb
3 tbsp pine nuts
1/2 yellow onion, finely minced
1 egg
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
salt
cayenne pepper
Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan until they're golden and fragrant. Let them cool. Mix the minced lamb with onion, garlic, egg and spices, and add the nuts. Shape into small patties - or regular round meatballs - and fry in olive oil on medium heat for a few minutes on each side.
