Ingredients

For the meatballs:

  • parchment paper
  • 2 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 lb ground lamb

For the sauce:

  • 1 onion
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes
  • 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1 1/8 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 c chicken broth, or beef broth
  • 1/2 c tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 tsp. dried parsley

Instructions

For the meatballs:

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the parsley, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper with a fork.
  3. With your hands, knead lamb into the mixture until all of the ingredients are incorporated.
  4. Use a tablespoon to scoop ping pong-sized balls of lamb onto the baking sheet. Roll each between your hands to make a smooth ball.

For the sauce:

  1. Peel and dice the onion. Drain the tomatoes.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pot. Add onions and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper and stir about 30 seconds.
  3. Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and stir about 1 minute. Add the broth, tomato paste, and parsley, mixing to dissolve the tomato paste.
  4. Bring the sauce to a boil, then gently place the meatballs in the skillet.
  5. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 40 minutes until an internal temperature of 145F is reached.
