Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1 Tbsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4-1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil (for cooking)

Sauce


Instructions

  1. Combine onion, parsley, garlic, ginger, cumin, salt and chili powder in a large mixing bowl. Add in the ground lamb and use a spatula or your hands to combine the ingredients until you have a consistent mixture.
  2. Pour avocado oil on a frying pan and preheat on medium heat.
  3. Roll the ground lamb mixture into balls, about 1 rounded tablespoon in size.
  4. Place each ball on the preheated frying pan.
  5. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes on medium heat. Remove the lid, flip the meatballs, then place the lid back on and cook an additional 4-5 minutes.
  6. While the meatballs are cooking, make the sauce. Combine all sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk.
  7. After cooking the meatballs a total of 8-10 minutes, remove the lid and pour the sauce over the meatballs. Cook an additional 10 minutes (uncovered). The sauce should thicken and the meatballs will be cooked through.
