Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and the egg to the lamb mixture.
Using your hands, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Shape the mixture into small, even-sized meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the meatballs to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them, and brown them on all sides. This should take about 5 minutes.
Transfer the browned meatballs to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the meatballs for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Remove the meatballs from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
