Method

step 1

Put the lamb mince in a bowl with the grated onion, dill, cumin, salt and egg yolk. Use clean hands to mix everything together, then roll into 20 little meatballs.
step 2

Heat a large, non-stick frying pan and cook the meatballs, turning until browned all over and cooked through. There should be enough fat in the lamb to fry them without using any extra.
step 3

To make the salad, whisk the oil and vinegar together then toss with all the other ingredients. Serve the meatballs with the salad.
