Heat a small pan over medium heat and add oil, garlic, jalapeño and shallot, Cook for 1 minute. Let it cool.
Crumble lamb into a large bowl. Evenly scatter salt pork, orange zest and mint over lamb, and season with pepper. Sprinkle the cooled garlic mixture over lamb.
Gently mix until just combined, then form into 1¼-inch balls and transfer to a plate or sheet pan.
