Instructions
- Heat a small pan over medium heat and add the oil, minced garlic, chili pepper, and shallot, and cook for 1 minute then let cool.
- Meanwhile, crumble the lamb into a large bowl. Evenly scatter the salt pork (or bacon), orange zest, and mint over the lamb and season with pepper. Sprinkle the cooled garlic mixture over the lamb. Gently mix until just combined.
- Transfer to a plate or sheet pan.
- Heat a large cast iron pan over medium to medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary to prevent crowding, cook the meatballs on all sides until browned and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve warm with toothpicks or skewers with Greek yogurt for dipping.
