Ingredients
Lamb Meatballs:
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Other Ingredients:
- 1 batch Tzatziki Sauce
- 3 cups cucumbers sliced or quartered
- 2 tomatoes sliced
- 1/4 cup quick pickled onions or raw red onions sliced
- 1 lemon cut into chunks
- optional: Naan bread pita bread or brown rice for serving (omit if Whole30/Paleo)
Instructions
- Make Sauce: Make a batch of Tzatziki Sauce (or use store-bought, if you want). Set aside.
- Form Meatballs: Combine Lamb Meatball ingredients in a mixing bowl; use your hands to fully combine. Taking one tablespoon of lamb mixture at a time, create meatballs with your hand or a small dough scoop. Place on a plate.
- Cook Meatballs: 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 until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (about 15 minutes).
- Build Bowls: Remove meatballs from the skillet and divide between 4 bowls. Divide any other bowl ingredients you want to use between the individual bowls.
- Serve: Enjoy with as much tzatziki sauce 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 make pickled onions, you can just add a little raw red onion or yellow onion to the bowl.
- Flexibility: of course add more/less of the tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. as you want!
- Nutrition Info does not include the optional naan, pita, or brown rice.
