Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground lamb
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 30 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add the egg and almond flour to the bowl. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Season the mixture with ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix again until the spices are well distributed.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them on the prepared baking sheet. You should have around 16-18 meatballs.
Drizzle olive oil over the meatballs to help them brown nicely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through. An internal temperature of 70°C (160°F) ensures they are fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the meatballs warm with your choice of side dishes or as an appetizer.
