    \n
  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together everything for the meatballs (except the oil and meat). Taste and add more salt or seasoning. You want a salty, flavorful marinade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Mix in the lamb using your hands until well incorporated. Don\u2019t over-mix or compact the meat too much. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes (or overnight in fridge) to marinate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. When ready to cook, form medium-sized meatballs, about the size of a golf ball. And place on a plate or parchment while you prepare the pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil once hot and let heat for 1 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Drop meatballs into hot skillet, leaving room between meatballs – don\u2019t overcrowd the pan (You may have to do multiple batches if necessary). Once browned, use tongs to turn, browning on the other side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Continue to sear\/brown on all sides until just pink in the middle (you can cut one in \u00bd to test) or until 145 degrees with a meat thermometer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Serve on top of roasted vegetables and tahini sauce (recipes above)

    Note: If you feel like the meatballs are browned enough, but still not cooked in the middle, you can finish them in the oven until cooked through. Just transfer to a cookie sheet (or if oven-safe pan, put entire pan in oven) at 350F degrees for a couple of minutes.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8902,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"nf_dc_page":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[270,11,12,426],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4059","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entrees","category-fall","category-winter","category-recipes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLamb
