One-Pot Garlicky Lamb Meatballs

with Creamy Pesto Risoni & Flaked Almonds

The beauty of this one-pot recipe is that it requires minimal prep, with most of the magic happening in the oven. Simply roll and sear the meatballs before popping them in the oven; add the risoni and make it saucy towards the end and dinner is done!

• Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop silverbeet.
• In a medium bowl, combine lamb mince, fine breadcrumbs, garlic & herb seasoning, the egg and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of lamb mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
