Greek Lamb Meatballs

Step 1

Make the meatballs. In a large bowl, mix all meatballs ingredients today (except tapioca flour and oil for frying). Cover mixture and place in the fridge for at least an hour to let flavors marinate. If you don’t have time, you can skip this step, but it really helps give the meatballs so much flavor. You can also marinate for more than an hour if you like.

Step 2

Make additional sides if desired. While the meatballs marinate, make the greek salad. Combine all ingredients into a medium bowl and stir to combine. If making tzatziki and cauliflower rice, make those as well.

Step 3

Form meatballs. After they marinate, use a tablespoon as a scoop to form into meatballs. Add flour into a small bowl and roll each meatball in the flour, making sure it is coated, but shaking off the excess.

Step 4

Cook meatballs. Heat a well-seasoned cast iron over medium heat. Add oil if needed. Cook meatballs for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. I had to cook mine in 2 batches.

Step 5

Enjoy! Serve with greek salad, rice, and homemade tzatziki!
