Ingredients:

• 1.5lbs Grow and Behold Ground Lamb
• 3 tablespoons almonds, blanched and chopped
• 3 tablespoons Panko bread crumbs
• 5 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 4 tablespoons oil or schmaltz

Directions:

• In a medium bowl, combine the lamb, almonds, bread crumbs, 3 tablespoons of the mint, the garlic, and  1 teaspoon of the cumin. Shape the mixture into 16 meatballs.
• In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil or schmaltz over a medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning, until browned on all over, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• In a large deep frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.

• Add the meatballs to the tomato sauce and simmer, covered, until the meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes longer. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons mint and serve over couscous or rice.
