- Ingredients:
- 340g ground lamb
- 1 egg
- 3tbsp Gardeners Mint Sauce
- ½tsp cumin
- ½tsp cinnamon
- ½tsp fine sea salt
- ½tsp black pepper
- 3tbsp breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, as needed

- Pinch of salt
Cooking Method
In a large bowl, break up the ground lamb into small pieces. Add egg, seasoning and mint sauce it. Use your fingers to gently mix together
Roll the mixture into meatballs, about 2 tablespoons at a time. To keep them tender, avoid over-handling them, simply patting and gently rolling them into balls. Put the formed meatballs on a platter or baking sheet. Damp hands will help keep the meat from sticking
Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan, swirl the oil to spread it over cooking surface, and add as many meatballs as fit in a single layer without touching (this is key to getting the meatballs to brown properly). Cook, turning to brown all sides, until the meatballs are cooked through, about 8 minutes total
To make the mint yogurt sauce, pour the yoghurt into a bowl, add our Gardeners Mint sauce and stir until well mixed. Add salt to taste.
To finish, add lollipop sticks and drizzle with yoghurt mint sauce
