Working time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour

Sort the spinach/chard, remove any tough stems, and wash thoroughly several times. Then toss dry and finely chop. Rinse the parsley in cold water, pluck the leaves from the stems, pat dry, and finely chop. Chop the onion and garlic until they are almost a paste. Mash the feta cheese as finely as possible with a fork or puree it in a food processor. Mix the minced lamb with the spinach/chard, parsley, onion, garlic, feta cheese, sesame seeds, and egg to form a meat dough. Season the dough with salt and pepper. With moistened hands, form the dough into walnut-sized balls. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the sesame balls in batches over medium heat for about 8 minutes on all sides. Serve with rice, salad, and sesame sauce (tahini).
