Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 50 grams almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, almond flour, egg, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and chopped parsley.
Add the finely chopped onion, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper into the mixture.
Use your hands to mix all ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the lamb mixture.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You should get approximately 16 meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Sear the meatballs for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they develop a nice brown crust.
Transfer the seared meatballs to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are cooked through and juicy on the inside.
Once finished, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve these savory lamb meatballs with a fresh herb salad or your favorite Paleo-approved sauce.
