Lamb Meatballs with Mushroom Sauce

I love lamb. And I love lamb seasoned with mint and currants. I took a family favorite recipe for mushroom sauce and combined it with meatballs inspired by Epic’s lamb, currant, and mint bars and holy moly, is the result delicious. And if you’re short on time, skip the mushroom sauce. Or use it on other recipes. Or, heck, just eat it as a soup! If you can’t find or don’t have dried currants, raisins will work in a pinch.

Doubled this recipe for a family of 5 and we devoured every bit of it. If you want to serve more people, I would suggest sides of roasted sweet potatoes and rice. I did not have currants and it was still so delicious! My husband raved and raved. I cooked my meatballs in the oven 425 degrees for 15 minutes then added them to a crockpot and covered with the cooked sauce. I garnished my plate with extra mint. 😋 Thanks for the recipe. It’s a keeper!
How lovely! I’m so glad it was a hit for the whole family.
