Sauce Ingredients

Method

Meatball Preparation

  1. 1

    Combine Meatball Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully integrated.

  2. 2

    Form Meatballs

    Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place the formed meatballs on a plate.

  3. 3

    Cook Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Sauce

    In a separate saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Stir in the canned tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 6

    Combine Meatballs and Sauce

    Once the sauce has thickened slightly, add the cooked meatballs to the saucepan. Simmer together for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. Stir in the fresh basil before serving.
