Lamb Meatball Sandwich

Step 1

Add pesto to lamb mince and mix well to combine - I use my hands for this, then shape mince mixture into 20 even sized balls (see notes) and refrigerate

Step 2

For the salad chop cherry tomatoes into quarters, finely chop the red onion. Combine tomatoes, onion & mint leaves in a small bowl & set aside

Step 3

For the sauce combine sour cream, buttermilk & powdered garlic in a small bowl & set aside as well

Step 4

Place a large non-stick frying pan/skillet over medium high heat, then fry meatballs for 7-8 mins turning frequently as they cook, until they are browned all over and cooked through (see notes)

Step 5

Pre heat the grill/broiler and toast the cut side of the bread rolls slightly

Step 6

When meatballs are cooked, lay 2 slices of swiss cheese on each bread roll, place 1/4 of salad evenly along roll, then top with 5 meatballs - nestling the meatballs slightly into the salad then repeat for remaining rolls

Step 7

Place sandwiches under the grill/broiler for 1-2 mins to melt cheese slightly

Step 8

Top with sauce & serve immediately
