How to Make Bbq D Lamb Meatballs With Plums In Tomato Sauce

2. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground lamb, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup BBQ sauce, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
3. Roll the lamb mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
4. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides.
5. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup chopped plums (malta plums or other sweet and sour plums), 1 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika to the skillet.
6. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
8. Serve hot over pasta, rice, or couscous. Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of feta cheese (optional).
