Instructions

1
In a bowl, combine ground beef, fresh herbs, garlic, jalapeño, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander and lemon zest.
2
Mix well until just combined then add panko, eggs and cold water, and mix until everything is fully incorporated.
3
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow flavors to set up and for meat to rest.
4
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400ºF.
5
Roll meat mixture into meatballs about the size of golf balls and place on a sheet pan or plate.
6
Place a large sauté pan over medium heat and add oil. Set a 9 x 13 inch oven safe casserole dish next to sauté pan.
7
When oil is hot, fry meatballs in batches until nicely browned on all sides, approximately 10 to 15 minutes depending on size, then transfer to the casserole dish.
8
Place in oven and bake until meatballs are fully cooked with an internal temperature of at least 160ºF, about 10 to 15 minutes.
9
Allow to rest a few minutes then serve over rice with yogurt, or on a bakery roll as a sandwich.
