  • Throughly mix about 16 oz of ground lamb with dry seasonings listed above. Form into meatballs and sear on medium high heat for 6-8 mins of each side. Turn down the heat to medium and add a squeeze of balsamic glaze and a splash of soy sauce (I eyeball it) and reduce down to glaze. If needed, finish in oven for 5 mins at 350°F until the internal temp reads 160°F/71C.
