Recipe Instructions:
- **Mix the lamb, carrots, egg, dill seed, and paprika together in a bowl until well combined.
- **Form small balls from the mixture, making approximately 30 balls.
- **Heat oil in a frypan over medium heat and brown the lamb balls on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the browned balls and set aside.
- **Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat oil in a separate pan and add 3 tablespoons of flour to make a roux, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and fragrant.
- **Slowly pour in the water while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
- **Add the dried parsley and sour cream to the pan, stirring until well incorporated and the sauce begins to thicken.
- **Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, return the browned lamb balls to the pan, coating them in the sauce.
- **Reduce the heat to low and simmer the lamb balls in the sauce for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- **Just before serving, pour in the Madeira and sherry wines, stirring gently to combine.
- **Serve the lamb and carrot balls hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, alongside your favorite sides like new minted potatoes, fresh peas, and a crisp salad.
