INGREDIENTS
4 oz ground lamb
1 large egg white
1 medium zucchini
1/2 avocado
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp grated pecorino cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh mint
1 tsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb and egg white along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Form the mixture into small meatballs.
Place the meatballs on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
While the meatballs are baking, use a spiralizer or vegetable peeler to create zucchini noodles from the medium zucchini.
In a blender, combine the 1/2 avocado, 1/2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and half of the chopped mint along with a pinch of salt to create a creamy sauce. Blend until smooth.
Toss the zucchini noodles with the avocado cream until evenly coated.
For the mint pesto, mix the remaining chopped mint with the grated pecorino cheese. If desired, you can add a few drops of olive oil to bind.
Plate the creamy zucchini noodles, place the lamb meatballs on top, and drizzle the mint pesto over the dish for a bright, fresh finish.
