LAMB MEATBALLS WITH TZATZIKI

I haven't made this dish for such a long time , this dish ticks all the boxes ,its easily prepared , tasty and aromatic and definately back on the menu at The Manor . Let's begin with the tzatziki , deseed 1 cucumber and grate the cucumber coarsley with 1/2 tsp of salt and leave drain in a colander . Pour 500ml of Greek yoghurt into a coffee filter and let drain for a couple of hours . Now remove the yoghurt from the filter and place in a bowl with the grated and strained cucumber , 2 tbs of minced garlic and 1 tbs of finely chopped fresh mint , season with cracked black pepper . To make the meatballs ...mix together 450gm of lamb mince ,1 tsp of ground coriander , 1 tsp of ground cumin ,a pinch of chilli, 1 tbs of tomato paste , 1/2 bunch of fresh coriander finely chopped ( including plant roots ), the grated zest of 1 lemon and season with cracked black pepper . Wet your hands and shape the lamb mixture into small meatballs . Place 2 tbs of rice bran oil in a large non stick frypan and heat over a medium heat . Fry the meatballs in the heated oil until they are cooked through and golden brown . Serve the meatballs alongside the tzatziki , a mixed green leaf salad and pita bread .
