- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible.: Fresh parsley and freshly grated lemon zest will enhance the flavor and aroma of the meatballs.
- Do not overmix the meat mixture.: Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Preheat your oven or skillet.: Ensuring your cooking surface is hot will help sear the meatballs, locking in juices and flavor.
- Form meatballs with lightly oiled hands.: Using a bit of olive oil on your hands will make it easier to shape the meatballs and prevent sticking.
- Cook meatballs in batches if necessary.: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and a nice crust on each meatball.
These Greek lemon meatballs are a delightful combination of flavors that bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your table. Serve them with a side of tzatziki or a fresh Greek salad for a complete meal. The bright lemon zest and the savory lamb make these meatballs a standout dish that your family and friends will love. Enjoy!
