Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 tbs grated white onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary
- ½ tsp fresh oregano
- ½ teaspoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 cups Whole30 compliant marinara sauce
Optional
- zoodles
- brown rice
- shredded cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (except the sauce) by hand.
- Form mixture into meatballs of 1 to 1 ½ ounces each, about the size of a walnut.
- In a wide, deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Cook the meatballs in batches, being careful not to crowd the pan, for 6 to 8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 150-160 F.
- Transfer the cooked meatballs to a waiting plate lined with paper towels so they can drain. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce and garnish with fresh basil.
Oven Method
- Follow steps 1 and 2 above and then line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
- Space the meatballs about 2 inches or so apart on the sheet pan and bake at 400 F for about 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 150 to 160 degrees F.
- Serve with your favorite marinara sauce and garnish with fresh basil.
