Combine chopped parsley, minced garlic, cumin, and salt into a medium bowl with the ground lamb. Thoroughly combine the ingredients. Then take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form small balls.
Over medium heat, add 1-2 tablespoons of Olive oil to a large skillet. Then add the meatballs and cook for about 2 minutes per side, cooking no more than 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the meatballs to a large plate and set aside
In the same skillet, add the garlic and the sliced lemons. Saute the lemons for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Then add 2-3 tbsp ghee/butter (or coconut oil). Add the orzo and saute for about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the vegetable broth (or water) and the juice of one lemon. Over medium-high heat, bring the liquid to a boil and cook the orzo for about 7-10 minutes, or until al dente. Be sure to stir frequently to avoid any burning of the orzo.
Once the orzo is fully cooked lower the heat to medium-low and mix in the olives. Then add the meatballs back into the skillet. Cover the dish for about 3-5 minutes to warm the meatballs back up. Then, add the dill.
