For a richer flavor, use a dry red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon in the sauce. Ensure the meatballs are cooked in batches to maintain the heat of the pan and achieve even browning. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a sprinkle of lemon zest before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepMelt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and sauté until tender and fragrant. Transfer the cooked shallots to a large mixing bowl. (5-7 minutes)
02
StepIn the bowl with the shallots, combine the ground lamb, fresh bread crumbs, chopped parsley, beaten egg, and lemon zest. Season generously with dried marjoram, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Cover the bowl and let the mixture stand in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. (1 hour)
03
StepMelt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Form the lamb mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, cook the meatballs until they are evenly browned on all sides and cooked through. Do not drain the skillet. Once browned, remove the meatballs from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess grease. Place the drained meatballs in a serving dish. (15-20 minutes)
04
StepIn the same skillet, combine the tomato sauce, red wine, minced garlic clove, and a dash of ground cinnamon. Cook and stir the sauce until it is well blended and heated through, allowing the flavors to meld together. (5 minutes)
05
StepDrizzle the warm tomato sauce mixture over the cooked meatballs in the serving dish, ensuring they are evenly coated. Serve immediately with toothpicks for easy serving.
