CUMIN LAMB MEATBALLS WITH TAHINI YOGURT DIPPING SAUCE



Cumin Lamb Meatballs With Tahini Yogurt Dipping Sauce image

Meatballs are not the kind of thing one would usually think of as quick-and-easy-dinner fare. All that rolling and frying can take forever, making meatballs a weekend project for a leisurely afternoon. There are, however, shortcuts - if you can suppress your perfectionist urges. You can use this recipe as a template for whatever kind of ground meat you like. Lamb is earthy and works well with the creamy tahini sauce, reminiscent of a carnivore's falafel. But beef, turkey, veal or pork are good substitutes. And all will make equally good blobs and none will be a project. Just a fast and filling dinner any night of the week.

A simple combination of cooked squash, drained yogurt, garlic and tahini, it's another example of how you can make yogurt dips with just about any vegetable.

Time 37m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 large heads cauliflower
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt,
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon za'atar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup full-fat greek yogurt
3 tablespoons tahini
1 lemon, zested
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, good-quality
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup fresh mint leaf, torn if large
½ cup pomegranate seeds
¼ cup pine nuts, toasted
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Remove the large, tough outer leaves from cauliflower, and reserve any smaller, tender leaves. Cut cauliflower into medium florets.
  • In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, salt, pepper, za'atar, and cumin. Spread in an even layer on 2 baking sheets, making sure the florets have some space between them.
  • Roast the cauliflower for 18-22 minutes, until crisp, tender, and browned in spots. Set aside.
  • While cauliflower roasts, make the tahini yogurt sauce: Combine the yogurt, tahini, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and mix well. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use. The tahini yogurt will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • To assemble, spread the tahini yogurt almost all the way to the edges of a serving platter. Arrange the cauliflower on top of the yogurt, letting the yogurt peek out on the sides. Scatter the mint, pomegranate seeds, and pine nuts over the cauliflower. Drizzle the olive oil over the cauliflower and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
