These Lemon Mint Lamb Fritters are a perfect appetizer for your family Easter or Spring celebration. Also, they are super easy to make. Combine ground lamb with tart lemon juice, lemon zest, and ribbons of fresh mint. Shape into small balls, pan fry and done.

This spring celebration appetizer is delicious served on its own. However, whip up a dipping sauce with what you already have on hand. For example, add kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, lemon juice and zest to greek yogurt. Alternately, spike the yogurt with paprika, garlic powder or oregano. Substitute sour cream or creme fraiche for the greek yogurt.

Well priced, the set retails for $89.99. Furthermore, the set nests together pots, pans, and lids for better organization and space-saving storage. Also, this reduces damage from scratches and dents. Additionally, the Meyer Corporation, U.S. is partnering with the National Parks Foundation. They support America’s National Parks with an annual donation.

Under the current stay-at-home practice, many people are cooking more than usual. Additionally, some see shortages in their local supermarkets. I hope no family will be hosting large get-togethers for the upcoming spring holidays. Unless, of course, they are already living together. Consequently, I am working on recipes that take less time to prepare. Also, those that require few ingredients.
