Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Finely chop half of a small onion, mince two cloves of garlic, and slice a chili pepper. Wash and chop fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, and parsley. Halve a lemon and squeeze juice over half an avocado to keep it fresh for the dip.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped chili, and spices. Add in the egg and breadcrumbs, mixing until just combined.
- Take small portions (about one tablespoon each) of the mixture and roll them into balls. Aim for about 20 meatballs and let them rest for about 10 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Wait until the oil is shimmering, then carefully place in the meatballs to sear.
- Cook the meatballs for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F. Remove and keep warm.
- In a blender, combine the reserved avocado, Greek yogurt, garlic, chopped herbs, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, adjusting taste with salt and pepper.
- To serve, arrange the meatballs on a platter with the dip on the side. Garnish with extra herbs as desired.
