Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup roasted red pepper , preferably piquillo peppers (2 oz)
1 cup vegetable broth
1/4 cup plain yogurt (can use greek)
1 lb ground lamb
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tsp garlic cloves, minced
1/8 cup fresh parsley, minced
1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp kosher salt
1/8 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chickpeas , drained if from a can
greek yogurt , for serving
fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions:

First make the red pepper sauce by pureeing the peppers in a food processor; whisk together with broth and yogurt.
To make the meatballs, get a large bowl and combine the ground meat, egg, garlic, minced parsley, thyme, and smoked paprika; use your hands to gently mix.
Form into 8 2-inch meatballs.
Heat the oil in a large skillet until shimmering, over medium high heat; brown meatballs on all sides, about 8 minutes.
Push the meatballs to one side, add red pepper sauce and chickpeas; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce reduces slightly, about 10 minutes.
Season with salt.
Transfer meatballs and chickpeas to a serving platter; spoon sauce over top, garnish with parsley, and serve with additional yogurt.
