Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine all meatball ingredients except olive oil.

Step 2

Mix together thoroughly with your hands, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated. By using your hands, the lamb fat starts to melt and helps glue the meatballs together.

Step 3

Roll the mince into tablespoon size balls.

Step 4

In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the meatballs for 7 - 10 minutes, turning regularly to ensure they are golden brown on all sides.

Step 5

Check for doneness (a little pink in the middle is ok, it's lamb!)

Step 6

Serve atop the rocket leaves with lemon wedges and tzatziki.
