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.
