How to Make It
Step 1
Zest and juice the lemon, keeping them in separate bowls. Finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a plate or baking sheet.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.Place the meatballs in the skillet, ensuring they don’t overcrowd, and cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and fully cooked through.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chopped dill, and the remaining lemon juice. Add salt to taste.
Step 5
Arrange the cooked meatballs on a platter with the creamy dill dipping sauce on the side. Garnish with extra dill or lemon zest if desired. Optionally, serve with fresh cucumber slices or a simple side salad for a satisfying balanced meal.
