Lamb Meatball Recipe
Lamb Meatballs - an easy, delicious lamb meatball recipe that can be made in the oven or on the stove top! So good!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 egg
- ½ cup almond flour sub breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine: In a medium mixing bowl, add 1 pound ground lamb, 1 egg, ½ cup almond flour, 1 tablespoon fresh mint, 1 teaspoon garlic, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper; mix to combine.
- Form Meatballs: Taking one tablespoon of lamb mixture at a time, create meatballs with your hands or a small dough scoop. Place on a plate.
- Cook On The Stove Top: 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℉ (about 10-15 minutes).
- Cook In The Oven: Preheat oven to 425℉. Place meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack for 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from oven and let cool; serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Internal temp of lamb: lamb is fully cooked when it reaches 145 degrees F. at it's thickest part.
- Serving suggestions: we love using them to make easy gyro bowls or dipping them in creamy tzatziki sauce!
- Gluten-Free: to make these gluten-free make sure you use the almond flour.
- How to Store: Once these meatballs have been cooked and cooled you can easily store any leftovers! Just place them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer for 3-4 months (I like storing mine in freezer bags). These are great for meal prep!!
- Yield: Makes approx. 24 meatballs.
