3 tablespoons finely chopped mint
3 tablespoons finely chopped dill
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

In a medium bowl, combine the pork, lamb, Pecorino, mint and dill with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Mix with your hands until combined, then shape the meat into 1-inch balls.
