Ingredients
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus 1/4 cup
1/2 cup grated onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup diced day-old bread, soaked in milk
1 pound ground beef or lamb
1 egg
1 teaspoon fresh oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg
Grated zest of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Flour, for dusting
12 lemon wedges
Mint leaves
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet set over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic until softened but not browned. Let cool and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add the bread to the bowl. Add the beef, egg, oregano, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix by hand until smooth. Form into little meatballs, about 1 ounce each.


Heat the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Dust the meatballs in flour and shallow-fry them until golden brown. Transfer to paper towels to drain.


To serve: Place on a platter and garnish with lemon wedges and torn mint leaves.
