Instructions
- Finely chop one small onion, two cloves of garlic, and any chosen chilies. Roughly chop fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, and parsley. Squeeze half a lemon over avocado to prevent browning.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, chopped onion, minced garlic, minced chilies, cumin, smoked paprika, egg, and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix gently until combined.
- Roll the meat mixture into 1-tablespoon-sized balls and place on a baking sheet with space in between. Let rest for about 3-5 minutes.
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add meatballs in a single layer, searing one side for 2-3 minutes. Turn to brown on all sides until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F, about 5 minutes more.
- In a blender, combine ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and fresh herbs. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the meatballs on a plate with the Green Goddess Dip. Garnish with herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
