12 ounces of lean ground lamb 3/4 cup of dry bread crumbs 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt 1 teaspoon of minced garlic 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh mint 1/4 teaspoon of ground red pepper 2 cups of chicken stock 1 teaspoon of cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon of salt 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper |

In a medium bowl, combine the lamb, bread crumbs, mozzarella, yogurt, garlic, mint, and red pepper. Mix well. Form into 2-inch balls (makes about 12). Coat a 10-inch no-stick skillet with no-stick spray and place over medium-high heat until hot. Add the meatballs. Cook for 5 minutes. Turn and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned. Add 1 cup of the stock. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are no longer pink in the center. Transfer the meatballs to a plate; cover to keep warm. Place the cornstarch in a small bowl. Add the remaining 1 cup stock and stir until smooth. Stir in the salt and black pepper. Add to the skillet. Bring to a boil, scrapping to loosen any browned bits on the bottom. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes, or until the gravy thickens. Serve over the meatballs. Serves 4.
