Ingredients
Stuffed Meatballs
- For the meatballs
- 1 stale White roll
- 1 onion
- 1 garlic clove
- vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp freshly chopped Basil
- 600 grams Ground lamb
- breadcrumbs
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
For the meatballs: Soak rolls in some lukewarm water. Peel and mince onion and garlic. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan and saute onions and garlic until translucent. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Then add eggs, basil, squeezed-out bread and meat. Knead and add breadcrumbs to reach desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
For the filling: Rinse, peel and chop zucchini. Rinse peppers, cut in half, remove seeds and ribs and chop. Chop olives, combine with zucchini and peppers and season with salt and pepper.
Take 1-2 tablespoons of vegetables and some of the meat mixture. Mold meat mixture around vegetables, creating a stuffed meatball. Heat oil in a pan and cook meatballs on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
Remove from pan and serve with potato gratin, as desired.
