Method
Step 1 of 10
In the large bowl of a food processor blitz the garlic and 1 white salad onion.
Step 2 of 10
Add the beef mince and pulse blitz until you have a smooth paste.
Step 3 of 10
Add dry spices and egg and blitz until combines. Now add the water and blitz again for 2 minutes. The mixture should be smooth.
Step 4 of 10
Divide the meat mixture into 10 – 12 balls and using your hands roll into balls or rissoles. Pat the ball down just a little.
Step 5 of 10
Heat 60ml of extra virgin olive oil in a large wide based pan over medium heat.
Step 6 of 10
Brown the meatballs on 3 minutes on each side.
Step 7 of 10
In the same pan nestle the slices of potato amongst the meatballs. Cut the salad onions in half if small, quarters if they are larger and fit them in the pan.
Step 8 of 10
Tuck in slices of lemon and sprinkle extra oregano over the top.
Step 9 of 10
Pour in the stock until nearly covering the balls. Add the butter and bring to a simmer. Place a lid or cover on the pan and cook for 25 minutes (the amount of stock will depend on the pan but it should be a snug fit for all ingredients).
Step 10 of 10
Then uncover and continue simmering to reduce the stock sauce a little.
