These meatballs are versatile, healthy and are light with fresh ingredients. Lemon juice and lemon zest give the meatballs an added pop of fresh flavor.
1 egg lightly beaten
¼ cup almond flour
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
2 cloves garlic crushed
½ cup crumbled feta
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
⅛ teaspoon cumin
⅛ teaspoon coriander
1lb ground lamb
Lemon zest of a half a lemon
Juice from half a lemon
½ tablespoon olive oil
1. Combine egg, almond flour, parsley, feta and spices in a large bowl.
2. Add ground lamb, lemon zest and lemon juice and mix until combined. Do not overmix.
3. Roll the meat into 1-2 tablespoon size balls.
4. Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add olive oil.
5. Place meatballs in the skillet without crowding them, and cook, turning the meatballs so they brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Meatballs should be light pink in the center.
