Juicy Herb-Infused Meatballs on Arugula

Mix Meatball Ingredients In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, garlic, onion, parsley, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and egg or flaxseed mixture. Mix gently until just combined — avoid overmixing.

Form Meatballs With damp hands, form the mixture into small 1 to 1.5-inch meatballs.

Cook Meatballs Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (internal temp should be 160°F or 70°C).

Plate and Serve Arrange a bed of arugula on each plate, then place cooked meatballs on top. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil or serve with dipping sauces like mustard or a garlic mayo (dairy-free version).
