Today’s Dish: Spiced Lamb Meatballs with Pineapple Salsa

I’m excited to share a new recipe that I’ve been experimenting with recently — Spiced Lamb Meatballs with Pineapple Salsa. The combination of savory and sweet flavors in this dish is perfect for a summer barbecue or a cozy night in. Let me guide you through the process of creating this delicious meal.

Ingredients:

  • 500g ground lamb
  • 50g breadcrumbs
  • 10g cumin
  • 10g coriander
  • 5g salt
  • 5g pepper
  • 1 fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lime

Kitchen Tools:

  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • skillet
  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, breadcrumbs, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined, then shape the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

While the meatballs are baking, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a skillet, sauté the diced pineapple and chopped red onion until caramelized. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and lime juice.

Once the meatballs are done, serve them hot with the pineapple salsa on top. The juicy sweetness of the salsa pairs perfectly with the spiced lamb meatballs, creating a flavor explosion in every bite.

This dish weighs approximately 1200g in total and serves 4 people. Each serving is around 300g and has an estimated calorie count of 400.

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the meatballs before serving. It adds a zesty kick that brings out the spices in the lamb perfectly.

I hope you give this Spiced Lamb Meatballs with Pineapple Salsa recipe a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to get creative with the ingredients and make it your own. Happy cooking!
