Instructions
1
Heat oven to 350 F
2
Make the red pepper sauce by pureeing all the sauce ingredients in a food processor until smooth and set aside.
3
Combine the egg, milk, panko, kosher salt, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano in a large mixing bowl. Mix until a homogeneous mixture forms. Stir in the garlic, onion, and parsley stems. Add the ground lamb and mix until just combined.
4
Pour the red pepper sauce into your oval roaster, spreading it evenly.
5
Form the meat mixture into slightly larger than golf-ball-sized meatballs; you should be able to make about 10.
6
Nestle the meatballs into the red pepper sauce, leaving a little space between each meatball. Roast for 40 minutes.
7
Remove the meatballs from the oven and top with crumbled feta. Set the oven to broil. Broil the meatballs until bubbly and the cheese has started to melt. This should take 3-5 minutes.
8
Top the meatballs with the parsley leaves and serve.
