Recipe: Lamb Meatballs with Garlicky White Bean Sauce

Jennette Turner, our local recipe maven, has a real knock-out lamb recipe this week. I’ve made this one, and it’s deeee-licious.

Lamb Meatballs with Garlicky White Bean Sauce

(Makes 4 servings)

 

Using ground lamb is a convenient and economical way to include more of this nutritious and delicious meat in your meals. The powdered rosemary adds a wonderful savory flavor to the meatballs.    

1 lb. ground lamb

1 egg, lightly beaten

¼ c. milk OR chicken stock

1/3 c. bread crumbs

1 tsp. powdered rosemary

½ tsp. salt

 

  1. Combine everything except the lamb and mix well. 
  2. Add the lamb and mix again – use your hands.
  3. Form the lamb mixture into small meatballs (around 1½ inch diameter) and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. You should have around 18 meatballs.
  4. Bake at 375ËšF for 20-25 minutes, until browned and done inside.  Serve meatballs on top of Garlicky White Bean Sauce.

 

Nutrition Tip:  Rosemary contains compounds that boost circulation and can increase blood flow to the brain, making it helpful for memory and concentration.
