MEDITERRANEAN PASTA WITH LAMB MEATBALLS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- For meatballs: combine lamb, 2 teaspoons of the spice mix, the ground matzoh crackers, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3/4 cup feta cheese. Mix until combined but do not overmix. Divide into 16 equal portions; shape into meatballs. Place meatballs on rack over cookie sheet so grease will drain from meatballs while cooking; bake 20 minutes.
- For sauce: heat olive oil in saucepan over medium heat and add shallots and remaining garlic. Cook until limp and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, remainder of spice mix, cinnamon, pepper, remainder of the salt, chicken stock, and parsley. Bring to boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until thick, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
- To cooked sauce add sliced green onion, and meatballs stirring gently to coat. Serve meatballs with sauce over pasta and garnish with remaining feta cheese.
- In a blender or coffee grinder pulse coriander, rosemary, thyme, cumin, marjoram, oregano, and onion until a fine consistency.
MEDITERRANEAN LAMB BALLS
When we opened the Shop, these Mediterranean balls were our first daily special. We were so busy that we didn't get a chance to change it for three weeks, but nobody really complained because they were so delicious. People still get excited when we bring them back for a day or two. The raisins and walnuts give this ball a subtly sweet and earthy quality that complements the lamb. Make these into mini balls and pass them around at your next party. Just add toothpicks and Spinach-Basil Pesto (page 58) for dip. No sauce required. Or serve them over a bed of Braised Kale with Anchovies and Garlic (page 93) or Creamed Spinach (page 100).
Yield Makes about 2 dozen 1 1/2-inch balls
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drizzle the olive oil into a 9 × 13-inch baking dish and use your hand to evenly coat the entire surface. Set aside.
- Combine the ground lamb, eggs, raisins, walnuts, parsley, mint, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl and mix by hand until thoroughly incorporated.
- Roll the mixture into round, golf ball-size meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches), making sure to pack the meat firmly. Place the balls in the prepared baking dish, being careful to line them up snugly and in even rows vertically and horizontally to form a grid. The meatballs should be touching one another.
- Roast for 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are firm and cooked through. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball should read 165°F.
- Allow the meatballs to cool for 5 minutes in the baking dish before serving.

- In a large mixing bowl, mix together half the diced yellow onion, the breadcrumbs (1/3 cup), milk (1/4 cup), egg, 1 teaspoon kosher salt (see notes), and 1 tablespoon of the ras el hanout.
- Add the ground lamb to the bowl and mix until everything is just combined (try not to over mix- using your hands is a good way to combine everything but you can use a spoon if you prefer).
- Heat the olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Roll the lamb mixture into 1-inch balls (I like using a cookie scoop to measure them equally into my hands, then give them a gentle roll) and place directly in the skillet. When all the meatballs have been added, sear for 1 more minute undisturbed. Flip to the other side (starting with the meatballs that were added to the skillet first) and allow to sear for 2 more minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Add the other half of the diced onions to the skillet and sauté until softened and starting to brown (about 3 minutes- there should be plenty of oil and fat left in the skillet but if it's dry you can add some more olive oil). Turn down the heat to medium and add the minced garlic (2 cloves) and the other 1 tablespoon of ras el hanout and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute longer, until spices and garlic are fragrant. Add the canned diced tomatoes (15 oz.), the chicken broth (1 cup), and the raisins (1/4 cup), stir together, and bring to a gentle simmer.
