Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lamb Meatballs on Tandoori Naan.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and give a baking sheet a light greasing to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, mix together Italian-seasoned bread crumbs, garlic powder, ground paprika, dried mint, dried basil, and dried parsley.
Step 3
This blend of herbs and spices will infuse your meatballs with delightful flavor.
Step 4
Next, add in the ground lamb, a beaten egg, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, a splash of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Get your hands in there and mix everything until it’s beautifully combined; this is where the magic happens! Now, shape the mixture into bite-sized meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and arrange them in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Pop those meatballs into the oven and let them bake for 15 minutes.
Step 7
After that, give them a gentle flip and let them bake for another 10 minutes, or until they’re cooked through and golden brown.
Step 8
While your meatballs are baking, let’s whip up a simple yet delicious tomato sauce.
Step 9
In a saucepan over low heat, combine your favorite tomato sauce with capers, fresh basil, dried mint, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper.
Step 10
Stir occasionally and let it simmer until it’s warmed through, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 11
Once your meatballs are perfectly cooked, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Step 12
Grab a baking sheet and lay out some naan bread.
Step 13
Generously spoon the fragrant tomato sauce over the naan, then nestle the meatballs on top.
Step 14
To finish it off, layer on slices of Muenster cheese, allowing it to melt into a gooey, delicious topping.
Step 15
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a mouthwatering dish that’s sure to impress.
Step 16
Enjoy your flavorful creation, and don’t forget to share it with friends and family!.
