Quick Spicy Lamb Meatballs Recipe
Ingredients
- 2lb ground lamb (or protein of choice)
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons Harissa
- Substitute: 1 tablespoon paprika + 4 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- pinch of sea salt, cracked pepper
Steps
Step 1
Set oven to 420F / 216C or air-fryer to 400F / 204C.
Step 2
Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl.
Gently mix together with your hands, being careful not to overmix so that the meatballs will not be dry and dense.
Step 3
Use an icecream scoop or a spoon to make uniform 1.5-2 inch sized meatballs, like golf balls.
Step 4
Place them in a baking tray or sheet next to each other, not spread out to keep as much juice in the meat as possible.
Step 5
Bake for 13 – 17 minutes, or until the outside has browned and the inside has cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Step 6
Enjoy with your favorite pasta, stuffed in a pita or with some spiced basmati rice.
