Lamb Meatballs with Citrus Sauce


These meatballs are very tasty. If you've never tried lamb, you should. It has a slightly stronger taste than beef, but it is especially yummy with Indian inspired seasonings. I got the meatball recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens 2006 holiday publication "Appetizers."

1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 1/4 teaspoons grated ginger
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 pound ground lamb
1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup barbecue sauce
1 cup orange marmalade

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine all ingredients except for barbecue sauce and orange marmalade, mixing well. Shape into meatballs 1 1/2 inch in diameter and place on rimmed cookie sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until cooked through. Mix together barbecue sauce and marmalade. Pour sauce over meatballs and serve warm.
