½ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, egg, almond flour, parsley, mint, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — stop as soon as the ingredients are evenly distributed.
2
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up slightly, making it easier to roll.
