I've tried many lamb meatball recipes, but this one is by far the best. The meatballs are moist and flavorful, and the spinach and orzo are the perfect accompaniment.

The meatballs were a bit bland for my taste, but the spinach and orzo were delicious. I'll try adding more seasoning to the meatballs next time.
