Lamb Meatballs with Mushroom Sauce

I love lamb. And I love lamb seasoned with mint and currants. I took a family favorite recipe for mushroom sauce and combined it with meatballs inspired by Epic’s lamb, currant, and mint bars and holy moly, is the result delicious. And if you’re short on time, skip the mushroom sauce. Or use it on other recipes. Or, heck, just eat it as a soup! If you can’t find or don’t have dried currants, raisins will work in a pinch.
