Lamb Meatballs with Mushroom Sauce

I love lamb. And I love lamb seasoned with mint and currants. I took a family favorite recipe for mushroom sauce and combined it with meatballs inspired by Epic’s lamb, currant, and mint bars and holy moly, is the result delicious. And if you’re short on time, skip the mushroom sauce. Or use it on other recipes. Or, heck, just eat it as a soup! If you can’t find or don’t have dried currants, raisins will work in a pinch.
Looking for Low-FODMAP Recipes?
The low-FODMAP diet is often prescribed for people with IBS or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), and there’s a huge overlap of that demographic with people with autoimmune disease. My e-book 28 Days of Low-FODMAP AIP combines both IBS- and autoimmune-friendly diets in a 28-day meal plan designed to jump start and simplify this often-challenging diet change. Just you wait: The meal plan includes 50 exclusive low-FODMAP recipes you won’t find on my website or anywhere else, with dishes like Chicken Vindalo, Jambalaya, and crispy, crunchy Tostones. You’ll be amazed at the variety of flavors still available to you! The ebook is available as a digital download for $9.99.
