Ingredients
Meatballs
- 1 lb Ground Lamb
- 1 small Onion, Grated or finely chopped
- 1 Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, Chopped
- Salt & pepper, To taste
Bowls
- 1 Red Bell pepper, Halved, seeds removed
- 1 Sweet potato, Diced
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Sumac seasoning
- ½ tsp Garlic powder
- Pinch Salt
Avocado Salad
- 1 Avocado, Chopped
- ½ Red onion, Chopped
- Handful Cherry tomatoes, Chopped
- 2 Sprigs Fresh Dill
Dressing
- 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 small Shallot
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp Honey, Optional
- Salt & pepper, To taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425. Add all meatball ingredients to a bowl and mix with hands until fully combined, form into balls. Place on a greased baking sheet.
- Season sweet potatoes with olive oil, sumac, garlic powder, and salt. Add to a separate baking sheet. Then add red bell pepper and drizzle with olive oil, place face down on baking sheet.
- Place both baking sheets in oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes. (I do them separately because the lamb gets greasy on the pan.)
- While the food is baking, prep the dressing and avocado salad. Add all dressing ingredients into a food processor or high speed blender. Blend until fully combined.
- Take veggies and meatballs out of the oven and assemble bowls. Add avocado salad and drizzle with dressing. Add feta cheese if you desire and more fresh herbs.
