Description

Delicious and juicy lamb meatballs glazed in balsamic and packed with flavor. 


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds of ground lamb (I always opt for local if I can find it)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons grain-free flour
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 3 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Start out with a large mixing bowl and combine all of the ingredients except for the balsamic and olive oil in the bowl. Mix very well. Then shape 8 large meatballs.
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet on medium heat. Drizzle in the olive oil then add the meatballs. Brown for 3 minutes per side, until brown and crisp all over. Cover for 2-3 minutes or until they’re cooked through.
  3. Lastly, open the lid and add in the balsamic vinegar and stir well. Cover again, lower the heat, and give the skillet a shake so that the meatballs roll around and get fully glazed in the balsamic. They will be shiny, browned, and crisp. Serve hot.
