Greek Protein Bowl

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and water.

2. Rinse fresh produce.

3. In a medium bowl, combine lamb, breadcrumbs, feta, egg, garlic, vinegar, mint, red pepper and salt and pepper to taste. Form mixture into 2-inch meatballs. Wash hands after handling raw lamb.

4. In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil. Once hot, add meatballs and cook for 2 minutes per side or until nicely browned. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 4 minutes or until lamb reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit as verified by an instant-read food thermometer. Remove from heat and keep warm.

5. Return skillet to medium heat and add lemon slices. Cook for 3 minutes per side or until just browned.

6. In a small bowl, combine lime juice, vinegar, parsley, tomatoes, onions and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange 4 meatballs (save others for another use), cabbage, lemon slices, tomato mixture and pita chips in a large bowl and enjoy.
