- 1 1/2lbs. ground grass-fed lamb (and/or beef)
- 1 large clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp. fresh oregano, roughly chopped (or 2 tsp. dried)
- 1 Tbsp. fresh mint, roughly chopped (or 1 tsp. dried)
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup crumbled sheep's milk feta cheese, optional
- 1/2 of 1 lemon
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- In a large bowl, add the meat and all of the other ingredients, except the lemon. Mix to combine, but don't overwork the meat. Shape the meat into about 18-20 meatballs.
- Add the meatballs to a cast iron skillet or other oven-safe dish. Bake for 25 minutes, or until cooked, browned on the outside but a tad pink in the middle, if that's how you like them. Cook for 30 minutes if you want them more well done.
- Squeeze the juice from the half lemon over top, and sprinkle on some extra mint and oregano.
We all know what honey is. Well, propolis is another bee product, but it serves as the immune system of the hive. Propolis is made from collected plant resins. Bees line the walls of their hive with propolis to protect themselves from bacteria, viruses, and parasites—and to provide a clean, safe environment in which baby bees can thrive. This mighty natural wonder guards the hive to ensure that germs don't stand a chance. Imagine what it can do for us. Beekeepers Naturals has managed to capture that healing magic and packaged it into this throat spray. I know, throat spray isn’t the sexiest gift, but it sure is magical to have on hand. I hope to find some in my stocking this year!
