Meatball Appetizer RecipeMeatballs with Mint Dipping SauceThis meatball appetizer recipe is a party favorite, especially paired with the Mint Dipping Sauce recipe. But when it comes to dipping sauces we say, 'To each his own,' and provide several more great dipping sauce recipes. We usually associate beef with meatballs, but this is an excellent ground lamb recipe, too. Or try sausage, or a beef and sausage combination. All produce outstanding results. 3 beaten eggs 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint 2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 teaspoons salt 3 tablespoons lemon juice Oil for frying Mint Dipping Sauce:
First prepare the Mint Dipping Sauce and refrigerate it. Combine the yogurt, mint, green onions, garlic and ginger; cover and chill until ready to use. Mix all the meatball ingredients together by hand until well-combined. Form the mixture into aprox. 1 1/2 ounce balls either by hand or with a meat baller. Pour just enough oil into a non-stick frying pan to cover the bottom and heat. Add the meatballs, in batches if necessary, and cook through, browning them on all sides. Drain them on paper towels. Serve hot with chilled Mint Dipping Sauce. Makes about 40 appetizers. Note: The meatballs can be cooked a day or two ahead of time, or cooked and frozen weeks ahead of time, and reheated in the oven or microwave.
