Spicy lamb meatballs

  • Ground lamb
    450 g1 lb
  • Harissa paste
    20 ga heaping spoonful
  • Salt
    4 g1%
  • Cumin
    3 ga small spoonful
  • Smoked Paprika
    2 ga sprinkle
  • Garlic Powder
    2 ga sprinkle
  • MSG
    1 ga pinch

Add the ground lamb, harissa paste, salt, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and MSG to a large bowl. Use your hands to mix until the meat becomes tacky and cohesive—stop as soon as it sticks lightly to your fingers.

  • To check seasoning, microwave a tiny piece of the mixture. Adjust as needed before forming.

Shape the mixture into golf ball–sized meatballs, pressing firmly so they hold together without any binders.

Preheat a pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
