Step 1
Mix ground lamb, minced red onion, half the herbs, lemon zest, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper until just combined. Roll into 12 balls about 1.5 inches wide.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, sear meatballs 2 minutes per side until golden brown on the outside. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, and tomatoes to the same skillet with 1 tbsp oil, a big pinch of salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
Step 4
Stir-fry vegetables over medium-high heat until they start to soften and char at the edges, about 6 minutes.
Step 5
Return meatballs to the skillet and fold in gently. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine.
Step 6
Divide onto plates and scatter remaining fresh herbs and a pinch of salt on top. Serve immediately.
