Super sneaky lamb meatballs (egg and gluten free!)

I'm not normally one for hiding veggies, but if you've got a chance, sneaking a few extra goodies into something can't be so bad.  These meatballs are baked, not fried, so immediately healthier.  They don't have any added salt, but the haloumi helps a great deal with the flavour.

And better still:  they are gluten free and egg free!

You can choose how you serve these, with pasta and sauce, with veggies of your choice, with rice...the options are endless.
