Ingredients
Lamb Meatballs
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup white onion, diced
- 1/4 cup parsley, diced
- 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1-1/4 teaspoons cumin
- 1-1/4 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground American Lamb
Harissa Yogurt

- 2 tablespoons harissa paste
- 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
For the Lamb Meatballs: In a medium to large-sized mixing bowl, add egg; lightly whisk. Add bread crumbs, onion, parsley, salt, cumin, paprika, pepper, cayenne and garlic; mix until evenly combined. Add lamb; mix using hands until well combined.
Roll out about 2 tablespoons meat to form an even ball; repeat with remaining mixture. (Coat hands with olive oil to avoid stickiness.) Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet; cook at 425°F for about 15 to 20 minutes, until browned on the outside and cooked throughout.
For the Harissa Yogurt: In a bowl, combine yogurt, harissa paste and lemon juice; add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
To serve: Drizzle Harissa Yogurt over the top of the meatballs, or use toothpicks to dip each meatballs into the sauce.
