Ingredients

• 500 g Ground lamb
• 100 g Feta cheese, crumbled
• 50 g Breadcrumbs
• 1 piece Egg, lightly beaten
• 1 piece Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh mint, chopped
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Ground coriander
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil, for frying
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, crumbled feta, breadcrumbs, lightly beaten egg, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Using clean hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

Shape the mixture into small patties (about the size of a golf ball, then flatten slightly) or larger rissoles, depending on your preference. The recipe should yield approximately 10-12 small rissoles.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the rissoles to the pan in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Cook the rissoles for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown on the outside and fully cooked through. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy; the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the rissoles to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the lamb and feta rissoles warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. They pair well with a fresh salad, pita bread, or a side of tzatziki sauce.
