This greek lamb meatballs recipe made in the Thermomix combines tender lamb, fresh herbs, and bold Mediterranean flavours. Perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or entertaining!

David found the recipe when he did a search for lamb mince on the Cookidoo app to make it in our Thermomix.   They looked yummy and sounded pretty straightforward to make, so we decided it was definitely a dish to try.  Lamb mince and fresh mint went on the shopping list and we had them for dinner along with greek rice with spinach, best basic houmous, greek salad and flatbreads.  

The meatballs are really delicious and moist...there's no egg added to bind the mixture together, however, the blended onion, mint and garlic do the job of the egg as well as adding flavour, along with the dried oregano.

There was 3 of us for dinner, but I managed to save a portion of the meatballs and rice, along with some houmous for lunch the next day!

If you don't have a Thermomix and would like to try making this recipe, please scroll down for the Non-Thermomix Instructions I have suggested.

Tips

  • Substitute the lamb mince for beef, chicken or turkey mince, if you prefer.
  • The meatballs can be made ahead, up to step 3, but don’t dust with flour until you’re ready to cook them. Place them on baking paper on a baking tray and cover them with cling film. Put them in the fridge until you're ready to cook them in the evening.
  • Enjoy these greek lamb meatballs as part of a meze platter.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I make the meatballs ahead of time?

Yes - prepare the meatball mixture and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Alternatively, shape the meatballs and freeze them for up to 3 months. Cook from frozen or thaw before cooking. 

How do I prevent the meatballs from falling apart? 

Ensure the mixture is well combined but not overmixed, and chill the mixture before shaping. Adding breadcrumbs or an egg helps bind the ingredients. 

What can I serve with these meatballs? 

Serve with pita bread, houmous, tzatziki, or a Greek salad. They also pair well with rice or couscous. 

Can I bake the meatballs instead of frying them? 

Yes - bake the meatballs on a lined baking tray at 190C/170C fan/375F for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway through. 

Are these meatballs gluten-free? 

To make them gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour as a binder.

How to make this Greek Lamb Meatballs with or without the Thermomix

Recipe on UK Cookidoo

Greek Lamb Meatballs

If you don't have the Cookidoo app for your Thermomix, follow the recipe below:

Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic 
  • 2 sprigs fresh mint, leaves only or fresh parsley, leaves only
  • 150g onions, quartered
  • 50g olive oil 
  • 500g lamb mince, broken in pieces
  • 60g breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp dried oregano 
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt 
  • 0.5 tsp ground black pepper 
  • plain flour, for dusting
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Place the garlic, mint, onions and olive oil in the mixing bowl then chop 3 seconds/speed 7. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with the spatula then sauté 2 minutes/100C/speed 1. Blend 10 seconds/ speed 8 until mixture is smooth. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with the spatula.
  2. Add the lamb, breadcrumbs, oregano, salt and pepper then, with the aid of the spatula, mix 5 to 10 seconds/speed 5 until combined.
  3. Using wet hands, roll 1 tbsp of the mixture into a ball and place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 24 meatballs. Dust the meatballs with flour.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the meatballs in batches for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned all over and cooked through. Serve warm.

Non-Thermomix Instructions

I'd suggest the recipe can easily be adapted using a chopping board, knife, frying pan, the hob and food processor to make the meatball mixture.   My suggestions are as follows: 

  1. Finely chop the garlic, mint and onions.   Heat the frying pan on a high heat, add the olive oil and then the chopped garlic, mint and onions.   Sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.   Transfer the onion mixture either to a blender or food processor and blend for around 10 seconds on high until mixture is smooth.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the lamb, breadcrumbs, oregano, salt and pepper then mix well with a fork or your hands until combined.
  3. Using wet hands, roll 1 tbsp of the mixture into a ball and place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 24 meatballs. Dust the meatballs with flour.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the meatballs in batches for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned all over and cooked through. Serve warm.
