Herbed Lamb Meatballs with Lemon Yogurt
4 servings · Prep 20 min · Cook 20 min
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion, grated and squeezed dry
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped mint
Method
- Heat the oven to 425°F and oil a rimmed sheet pan. Mix egg, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl before adding lamb.
- Fold lamb into the mixture gently and form sixteen meatballs about 1 1/2 inches across. Arrange with space between them and brush lightly with the olive oil.
- Bake 15–20 minutes, turning once, until several meatballs reach 160°F in their centers. Rest 3 minutes on the pan while preparing the yogurt sauce.
- Stir yogurt, lemon juice, mint, and remaining salt in a clean bowl. Serve four meatballs per person with the sauce alongside, using utensils that have not contacted the raw lamb.
Kitchen note: Squeeze onion dry and mix gently for tender meatballs.
Substitution: Use beef cooked to 160°F or turkey cooked to 165°F; dairy-free yogurt replaces dairy yogurt.
Storage: Refrigerate in shallow containers at or below 40°F within 2 hours; use within 3–4 days. Reheat thoroughly.

Eggplant Chickpea Tomato Bake
4 servings · Prep 20 min · Cook 55 min
Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplants, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, drained
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Method
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Brush eggplant slices with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Arrange on two sheet pans and roast 20 minutes, turning once.
- Heat remaining oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion 6 minutes, add garlic for 30 seconds, then add tomatoes, oregano, and remaining salt. Simmer 10 minutes.
- Lower oven to 375°F. Layer half the eggplant in a 2-quart baking dish, add chickpeas and half the sauce, then finish with remaining eggplant and sauce.
- Scatter feta over the top and bake 20–25 minutes until sauce bubbles throughout. Rest 10 minutes and finish with parsley before scooping generous portions onto plates.
Kitchen note: Roast eggplant first to soften it and reduce excess moisture.
Substitution: Use roasted zucchini instead of eggplant; replace feta with toasted pumpkin seeds.
Storage: Refrigerate in shallow containers at or below 40°F within 2 hours; use within 3–4 days. Reheat thoroughly.
