Step 1
Preparation: Prepare all ingredients as indicated above.
Step 2
Egg: Beat the egg lightly in a bowl. 4-box – use all of it. 2-box – use half of it. Solo-box – use one quarter of it.
Step 3
Lemon: Using the fine side of the grater, grate the yellow/green skin of the lemon to create zest. Then cut in half and juice.
Step 4
Gremolata: Mix these ingredients together in a small bowl – capers, lemon zest and juice, garlic, parsley and olive oil (see quantity above for gremolata). Set aside.
Step 5
Meatballs: Mix these ingredients together in a large bowl – mince, onion, egg, coriander seeds, cumin and dill. Season generously with salt and pepper. Roll the mince mixture into golf ball sized meatballs. Place a few glugs of olive oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 10 to 15 minutes. Keep turning them and moving them around in the pan. When done, remove from pan and set aside.
