    Method

    1. 1

      Soak the panko in the milk for 3 minutes. Grate one garlic clove into it and mix with the ground lamb, cumin and salt, just until combined.

    2. 2

      Shape into ten balls and flatten them slightly. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.

    3. 3

      Brown the meatballs, turning every few minutes, until the center reaches 71°C (160°F). Move them to a warm plate.

    4. 4

      Grate the other garlic clove into the Greek yogurt, squeeze in some lemon juice and spoon onto plates. Top with the meatballs and serve with lemon wedges.
