Bold, protein-packed Moroccan-style lamb meatballs perfect for the carnivore diet. These are rich, nourishing, and loaded with flavor — all without carbs or fillers.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp beef tallow or ghee (for searing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, salt, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well by hand.
  3. Form into 1-inch meatballs and set aside.
  4. Heat beef tallow or ghee in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Sear meatballs on all sides until browned (about 2–3 minutes per side).
  6. Transfer meatballs to a baking dish and finish in the oven for 8–10 minutes, or until cooked through.
  7. Serve hot with drippings or additional tallow spooned over top.

Notes

Use high-quality lamb for best flavor. Great for batch cooking and freezer-friendly. Avoid any plant-based additions to keep it fully carnivore.
