Lamb meatballs with Guinness gravy and wild mushrooms
Brian Duffy

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

Lamb meatballs

2 lbs. lean ground lamb
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons of chili powder
1/2 teaspoons of ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of salt
4 tablespoons of Goodalls steak sauce

Guinness gravy and wild mushrooms

2 shallots
6 ounces Guinness
2 ounces of beef stock
6 ounces of wild mushrooms, cleaned and rough chopped
2 tablespoons of Oxo gravy

DIRECTIONS

Meatballs: Preheat oven to 350° F. (If you want, these can also be made on the stovetop in as little as 6-10 minutes). Mix meat, egg, onions, celery, Goodalls steak sauce and spices in large bowl (a mixer is best) and mix for 3-4 minutes or until all is combined and mixed well. Form into meatballs and season with salt and pepper. Place into shallow baking dish and cook for 35-45 minutes or until internal temperature is above 140 degrees.

Gravy: In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, sauté the shallots and mushrooms. Add the Guinness. Add the gravy mix and reduce.

TIPS

Chef's note: Make meal ahead and double this recipe. They hold up well and are an easy meal for kids to pop in the microwave.

Chef's note: Use an ice-cream scoop to make the meatballs. It's much easier to portion and to scoop.
