This healthy eating recipe feels indulgent and creamy but is in fact packed with healthy spices, yoghurt and fruit.
These meatballs can be eaten on their own, with a salad, in a wrap, or even with some spaghetti. They also reheat well the next day for a healthy eating snack.
Baking the meatballs on top of a wire rack means that you don’t need to use any oil, and any excess fat from the meat can drain away.
Optional extras for the meatballs:
- Throw in some crumbled feta
- Add crushed pistachios
- Finely slice a small red chilli to add some heat
- Swap the sultanas for some chopped dates
Ingredients:
For the meatballs:
- 400g lean minced lamb
- 1 small onion, peeled and very finely diced
- 4 tbsp sultanas
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the sauce:
- ½ cup mint
- ½ cup dill, parsley or coriander
- ½ cup Greek yoghurt
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- Juice and zest of ½ a lime
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 180C and line 2 trays with baking paper. If you have them, place some wire racks on top so that any fat can drain away.
- Prepare the meatballs by placing all of the ingredients into a large bowl and mix with your hands.
- Use wet hands to shape the mixture into around 20-30 balls and place on the lined trays.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning once, until the centres are no longer pink.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce by combining all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked meatballs to serve.
