Ingredients
1/2 cup (125ml) milk
60g cream cheese, cubed
1/3 cup (80ml) lemon juice
100g fetta, crumbled
1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves
Meatballs
300g lamb mince
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup (25g) dry breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons pistachio nuts, toasted, chopped
rind of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 egg, lightly beaten
Instructions
1. To make Meatballs, combine all ingredients in a bowl. With wet hands, roll mixture into walnut size balls. Place on a prepared tray and chill for 20 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 200C or 180C fan. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Spray meatballs with oil and bake for 15 minutes, until cooked through.
3. Meanwhile, heat milk and cream cheese in a small saucepan on low, stirring until cream cheese has melted. Stir in lemon juice. Add fetta, a little at a time, whisking, until cheese has melted, before adding more. Remove from heat and stand for 5 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Stir through mint and serve with meatballs.
