Ingredients

1. 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2. 1 pound ground lamb
3. 1/2 cup minced onion
4. 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
5. 2 extra-large eggs
6. 2 tablespoons chopped mint
7. 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
8. 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
9. 1/4 cup chopped dill
10. 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic
11. Salt
12. One 8-ounce container Greek yogurt or plain whole milk yogurt
13. 1 tablespoon milk 

Directions

1. Preheat the broiler. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with the olive oil. 
2. In a large bowl, combine the lamb with the onion, bread crumbs, eggs, mint, lemon juice, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of the dill, 2 teaspoons of the garlic and 1 teaspoon of salt; knead until combined. Form the mixture into 1 1/4-inch meatballs. Arrange the meatballs on the oiled baking sheet and broil as close to the heat as possible for 6 minutes, turning the pan halfway through, until firm and lightly browned. 
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the yogurt with the remaining 3 tablespoons of dill and 2 teaspoons of garlic; whisk in the milk and season with salt. Transfer the meatballs to a plate and serve with the sauce.
