Tapas - Lamb Meatballs with Olives and Almonds

We followed this recipe:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8_lQNiOonM

Exceptionally good!

Notes:
- Used cookie scoop for ~2 in meatballs.  1 lb of meat made ~20
- Used 1/4 C diced green olives (from some random greek olive thing I had lying around)
- Used only 1 Tbsp oil because meatballs release their rendered fat
- Browned at medium-low, rotating every few minutes.
- There was no danger of meatballs falling apart, so next time I could leave almond bits a little larger




Aeoli recipe

I used 1/2 C mayonnaise, 4 cloves garlic crushed, juice from 1 lemon and a little salt.

Maria thought it was too much kick from the garlic.  So we next time maybe 2 cloves and lemon to taste.  Start with 1/2 lemon and a little more until it tastes balanced.
