Step 1

Mix together the tahini paste, water, vinegar, garlic, and salt. Whisk well until it turns smooth and creamy, adding more water as needed.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400F. Soak the bread in cold water for 2-3 minutes, until softened. Squeeze out most of the water and crumble the bread into a mixing bowl. Add the beef, lamb, garlic, parsley, salt, spices, and egg. Mix well with your hands.

Step 3

Shape the meat mixture into balls about the size of golf balls. Pour olive oil to a depth of 1/4" into a large frying pan. Heat it, being careful it doesn't overheat. Shallow-fry the meatballs in small batches for about 2 minutes, turning them around as you go, until they're uniformly brown on the outside.

Step 4

Dab the meatballs on paper towels and arrange in a single layer in an ovenproof serving dish. Place in the oven for 5 minutes. Pour the tahini sauce over and around the meatballs and return to the oven for another ten minutes. Garnish with additional parsley and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
