Combine the first 5 ingredients in a bowl.

Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Use a tablespoon to scoop out portions of the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball between your palms and flatten.

Heat the oil in a skillet. Place a layer of paper towels next to the stove.

Add the lamb fritters.

Cook on both sides until browned.

Transfer the fritters from the pan to the paper towel to drain.

Gently pat off excess oil.

While the fritters are still warm, transfer to a serving platter.

Sprinkle lemon zest over the fritters.

Garnish with mint leaves and lemon slices and serve.
