- 1 lemon, cut into chunks
- (optional) Naan, pita bread or brown rice for serving (omit if Whole30/Paleo)
Instructions
- Make a batch of Homemade Tzatziki Sauce (or use store-bought if you want). Set aside.
- Combine Lamb Meatball ingredients in a medium mixing bowl; mix.
- Taking one tablespoon of lamb mixture at a time, create meatballs with your hand or a small dough scoop. Place on a plate.
- Bring large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add approximately a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan; swirl to coat.
- Sear the meatballs on all sides.
- Turn heat down to medium/medium-low and continue cooking unit internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (about 15 minutes).
- Remove from skillet and divide between 4 bowls as well as the cucumber and tomatoes.
- If not Whole30/Paleo add Naan, pita bread or cooked brown rice to the bowl.
- Garnish with lemon chunks and pickled onions (or raw red onions).
- Serve with as much Homemade Tzatziki as you wish!
Notes
- Oven Baked Meatballs: to make the lamb meatballs in the oven simply place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake (middle rack) at 435 degrees F. for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Tomatoes: in the photo I used both whole, regular tomatoes and a few cherry tomatoes – use either or both – whatever works best for you!
- Pickled Onions: if you don’t want to use/make pickled onions you can just add a little raw red onion or yellow onion.
- Flexibility: of course add more/less of the tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. as you want!
