Instructions

Make garlic rice

Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Heat a medium pot over medium heat.

Add 1 1/4 cups water and 1/8 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) and bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.

Add lamb, panko, shallots, half the Indian Spice Mix, remaining garlic and half the curry paste to a large bowl. (TIP: If you prefer a firmer meatball, add an egg to the mixture!)Season with 1/2 tsp salt (dbl for 4 ppl), then combine. Roll mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs (16 for 4 ppl). Arrange meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 12-14 min.**
