Steam Combi Recipe: Herbed Lamb Meatballs

This recipe is made so much easier as the meatballs are all cooked together in the oven. The addition of Steam to the oven cavity means the meatballs remain moist.  The same cooking method can be applied to any meat, not just lamb

A great way to serve these is with hummus, crumbled feta and fresh pita bread.

 

METHOD

  1. Chop Onions into chunks and add to the bowl of a food processor. Add garlic and herbs and process until finely chopped.
  2. Add minced meat, and onion herb mixture to a bowl, with the rest of the ingredients and mix together well.
  3. Meanwhile place a roasting dish big enough for all of the meatballs into an oven and preheat to 200C .(In Asko choose Steam Combi Level 2, In Smeg choose Circulaire + 50% steam)
  4. While the dish is heating, form the mixture into balls.
  5. When the oven is up to temperature, remove the roasting dish and drizzle with olive oil and arrange the meatballs in one layer .
  6. Return to the oven and cook for 10 minutes.
  7. Toss meatballs and then set function to Fan Assisted Grill 200C and cook for another 10-15 minutes or until the meatballs are golden brown.
  8. Serve while warm.
