Pegs gluten free Chicken Meatball recipe is a family favorite. She likes to switch things up a bit and sometimes enjoys using lamb instead of chicken in her meatballs. She played around with her original chicken meatball recipe and created this wonderful lamb meatball version. And they are Paleo too! I swapped basil and oregano with mint and dill for a more Greek influence. It paired nicely with the lamb flavors, and I added a little more depth to the flavor with some coriander and cumin. When you bite into these juicy meatballs, your taste buds are greeted with creamy feta and juicy meat.
If you are dairy free, you can simply remove the feta or substitute with Kite Hill’s chive and dill soft cheese, original ricotta, or any other of your favorite dairy free cheese alternatives. Shredded or crumble cheese work great!
