Lamb Meatballs

September 22, 2014 By marketeditor

This recipe was featured during the September 20, 2014, cooking demonstration and sampling at the market. Students at the F.D. Myers Education Center of the regional WSWHE BOCES and guest chefs from the Saratoga & Glens Falls Chapter of the American Culinary Federation worked to create several dishes featuring market ingredients.

The event was co-organized by the Saratoga Farmers’ Market and BOCES Chef Instructor Maureen Clancy, who is also president of the local ACF chapter. The event coincided with the 30th Anniversary celebration for the market’s neighbor, the Saratoga Springs City Center. 

Ingredients

*Ingredients can be purchased at the market

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

5 shallots*, minced

2 pounds ground lamb* or ground mutton*

1 cup fresh bread crumbs

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley*

1 egg*, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram

salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 1/2 tablespoons tomato sauce

1/4 cup wine

1 small garlic clove*, minced

1 dash ground cinnamon

toothpicks to serve

Directions:

Melt the 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the shallots in the skillet until tender. Transfer to a large bowl.
Mix lamb or mutton, bread crumbs, parsley, egg, and lemon zest into the bowl with the shallots. Season with marjoram, salt, and pepper. Let stand 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Melt 1/2 cup butter and heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Form the lamb mixture into small meatballs, and cook in the skillet in batches until evenly brown. Do not drain skillet. Drain meatballs on paper towels, and place in a serving dish.
Mix tomato sauce, wine, garlic, and cinnamon into the skillet. Cook and stir until well blended and heated through. Drizzle over the meatballs in the dish. Serve with toothpicks.
