Lamb & apricot meatballs

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 chopped Red Onions
• 4 Cloves Crushed Garlic
• 2 tsp Ground Cumin
• 2 tsp Ground Coriander
• 400g Tinned Tomatos
• 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
• 10g Mint

Instructions

1. Place the lamb mince in a large bowl. Add the finely chopped onion, crushed garlic, chopped dried apricots, spices, and salt. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
2. Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, lightly dampening your hands to prevent sticking.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer and cook, turning regularly, until browned all over.
4. Reduce the heat, add the sauce or cooking liquid as specified, cover, and cook until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. Serve the meatballs hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or accompanied by a side dish of your choice.
