Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 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
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • ½ cup fresh mint (chopped)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • 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!
