Lamb meatballs with yogurt sauce

Cutlets and meatballs

Growing up my mother would buy any meat that was on sale and call it beef. Venison, lamb, buffalo were all turned into roast beef, meatballs and hamburgers. She had quite an imagination for such a frugal lady. It all came to an end one night when my dad wanted steak for dinner. She swore on all her daughters (not me) that it was beef, but my dad knew better. He packed her bags and threw her ass out of the house. <br /> <br />Lamb is something that you like more the older you get. The fresher it is the less it has that “lamby” taste. I know “lamby” isn’t a word, but you know what I mean if you’ve had a piece of lamb that wasn’t fresh. <br /> <br />I love making these meatballs for parties or picnics. They’re small, sweet and crunchy and when you serve it with the yogurt sauce, they’re refreshing. P.S. My dad never threw my mother out, but I could tell by the look on his face that he so wanted to! - MySocialChef
