Lemon Meatballs Recipes

Steps:

• In a 12-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoon of the oil over medium high heat.
• Add onion and garlic; cook 3-4 minutes or until softened, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, pepper and the onion mixture; mix well.
• Form into 18 meatballs.
• In the same skillet, heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat.
• Add the meatballs and cook 15-20 minutes or until beef is no longer pink inside, turning occasionally.
• While the meatballs are cooking, prepare spaghetti according to package directions, drain and arrange on serving platter.
• Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• When meatballs are cooked, arrange them on top of spaghetti; add lemon juice to the skillet and stir to scrape drippings from the bottom of the pan; pour over meatballs and spaghetti.
• Sprinkle meatballs with parsley and lemon peel in desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Combine ground pork, bread crumbs, shallot, lemongrass paste, mint, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger root, and salt in a large bowl. Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, shape mixture into meatballs, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are no longer pink in the center and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing water, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, Thai chile, and garlic in a small bowl.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Place meatballs under the hot broiler just until the tops start to turn brown to get a little color and crispness, about 2 minutes. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• In a bowl stir together the bread crumbs, the egg, the onion, 2 teaspoons of the capers, minced, and salt and pepper to taste, add the beef, combine the mixture gently but thoroughly (do not over mix). Form the beef mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
• In a flameproof casserole just large enough to hold the meatballs in one layer simmer 1/2 cup of the water, the broth, and lemon juice with the bay leaf, the zest strip, and the pickling spice, covered, for 10 minutes, add the meatballs, and cook them, covered, at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes. Transfer the meatballs with a slotted spoon to a plate and keep them warm. In a small bowl stir together the remaining 1 teaspoon water and the cornstarch, stir the cornstarch mixture into the broth mixture, and boil the sauce, stirring until it is thickened. Remove the casserole from the heat and stir in the sour cream, the remaining 1 teaspoon capers, the grated zest, and 2 teaspoons of the parsley, stirring until the sauce is combined. Return the meatballs to the casserole and cook the mixture over low heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Discard the bay leaf and the zest strip and serve the meatballs and sauce, sprinkled with the remaining 1 teaspoon parsley, over the noodles.
