Australian Lamb Meatballs

with Mint Jelly Sauce

Recipe Serves 4

• 1 pound ground Australian lamb (shoulder or leg)
• 1 small onion, grated
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/3 cup dried breadcrumbs
• 1/3 cup mint jelly

1. Combine mince, onion, egg, cumin and breadcrumbs in a bowl and form into 20 balls.
2. Heat a little oil in a skillet. Cook meatballs over a medium heat for 12 minutes or until cooked through.
3. Combine mint jelly with 2 tablespoons of water and warm. Serve with meatballs.

Tip: These meatballs make a great appetizer, but can also be served as a main dish. Serve the meatballs to toddlers with roasted potato wedges. For more adult palates, serve with couscous mixed with finely chopped parsley, chopped black olives and the zest of a lemon.
