Ingredients
Steps
Mix the beef, onion, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, mint, oregano, and lemon zest in a bowl.
Season with salt and pepper and mix until well combined.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
Chill the meatballs for 15 minutes to firm up.
Heat a layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Fry the meatballs in batches for 8-10 minutes, turning often, until browned and cooked through.
Drain on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.
