Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons mint chopped
- 1 medium onion grated or finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 teaspoon salt
Yogurt Mint Sauce
- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt
- ½ cup fresh mint chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the plain yogurt, fresh mint, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to a medium bowl and then whisk everything together well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
- Add the ground lamb, egg, breadcrumbs, herbs, onion, spices, salt, and black pepper to a large bowl. Then mix all the ingredients together really well with a wooden spoon or your hands until they are fully incorporated.
- Shape the meat into 1 inch meatballs. I find it easier to use a small cookie scoop. You should get anywhere from 16 to 20 meatballs, depending on size.
- Spray your air fryer basket with cooking oil then place the meatballs in the basket in a single layer. Spray the meatballs with a bit more cooking spray.
- Air fry the meatballs for 15 to 18 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through, at least 160°F (71°C) when checked with a digital cooking thermometer.
- Serve the meatballs with the yogurt mint sauce and enjoy!
