Greek Lamb Keftedes | Juicy Meatballs with Mint Feta Dip

Finely chop the red onion and garlic, and finely chop the fresh mint leaves (set a little aside for serving).

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the minced lamb with the finely chopped onion and garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped mint, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Let the mixture rest for 10-15 minutes so the flavors can meld.

With wet hands, shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls (about 16-20 pieces), then gently flatten them into slightly oval or flatter patty shapes.
