Lamb and pork meatballs with bell pepper are a tender and juicy dish with a rich meat flavor and light sweet-spicy notes. It incorporates European culinary traditions by combining the softness of lamb with the fattiness of pork for maximum flavor balance. Bell pepper adds a fresh aroma and slight sweetness to the meatballs, while herbs provide spiciness. Fried to a golden crust, they remain juicy inside due to added water. These meatballs can be served with mashed potatoes, vegetables, or fresh salads. Their versatility makes them suitable for both family dinners and festive tables. This recipe highlights traditional flavor combinations, creating harmony between rich meat and aromatic additions.
