Lamb Meatballs with Traditional English Mint Sauce

They had ground lamb on sale this week. (That almost never happens) and I had some homemade mint sauce on the shelf so.....

12 oz (350 g) ground lamb
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tbsps bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsps dried mint
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1  1/2 tsps lemon juice

Combine everything well and form into balls.  I made 12 heaping tablespoonful balls.  This does make a small batch, but you could double or triple it if you want to make more.

Heat a little olive oil in a skillet and lightly brown the meatballs on all sides.

Transfer to a lined baking sheet and bake at 350 F for 10-15 minutes.

Serve with mint sauce. You could buy it, but if you want to make it here's the link to an easy recipe.
