01Method
- 1
Warm a small skillet over medium heat. Add the oil along with the garlic, chili pepper, and shallot; cook for about 1 minute, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
- 2
Crumble the lamb into a large mixing bowl. Distribute the salt pork, orange zest, and mint evenly over the meat, then season with black pepper. Add the cooled garlic mixture and fold everything together gently until just combined.
- 3
Roll the mixture into balls roughly 1¼ inches in diameter and arrange them on a plate or baking sheet.
- 4
Place a large cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs in batches if needed to avoid crowding, turning to brown all sides until fully cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer to a serving plate and offer warm with toothpicks or skewers alongside Greek yogurt for dipping.
