Mini lamb meatballs

Mini lamb meatballs

Ingredients

  • 150 g lamb mince
  • 2 tbsp fine oats
  • 1 small courgette, grated and squeezed
  • 1 pinch ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Contains: Wheat

Method

  1. Mix the mince, oats, courgette and cumin with your hands.
  2. Roll into balls smaller than a walnut and flatten each into a disc.
  3. Cook in the oil over medium heat, turning, 8–10 minutes until no pink remains. Cool.
Safety: Flattened into discs, not left as balls — a round meatball is a choking shape. Cut one open to check there is no pink.
Storage: Fridge 2 days, freezer 1 month.
Tip: Lamb and cumin, with courgette to keep them soft. The discs freeze flat in a bag.
