MEDITERRANEAN MEATBALLS
There are 22 countries that border the Mediterranean, and one of them is Greece. These meatballs are ground beef-based, and they are chock-full of fresh herbs, garlic, and other seasonings that may remind you of Greece. Use these meatballs as appetizers, or serve them inside pita bread with lettuce and tomato. In either case, be sure to serve with plenty of tzatziki, either one you purchase, or one you make from scratch from a recipe on this site.

LAMB MEATBALLS WITH SPICED TOMATO SAUCE
Here is a recipe from the Los Angeles chef Suzanne Goin that plays to children as well as to the most sophisticated of palates. It is for crisp lamb meatballs cooked through in a fragrant, vaguely North African sauce of tomato sauce zipped up with orange juice and warm spices, then topped with feta and mint. Ms. Goin first served the dish at one of her Los Angeles restaurants, and put it into ''The A.O.C. Cookbook'' (2013), devoted to that restaurant's food. A version of the dish was later introduced to the menu of her children's school. It can be cooked in an hour's time, not all of it busy, and served with pita or plain pasta, bulgur or couscous.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler. In a large bowl, mix together the onion, cream, egg yolks, cinnamon, cumin, red pepper and cayenne. Put the lamb in the bowl, and season it aggressively with salt and pepper. Add the bread crumbs and parsley, and combine the mixture well. Shape the meat into balls that are a little larger than golf balls.
- Grease a baking pan with olive oil, and put the meatballs onto it, spaced evenly. Place beneath the broiler, and cook, turning once or twice, until the meatballs are well browned, approximately 5 to 7 minutes, then set meatballs aside. Turn oven to 400.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pass the tomatoes through a food mill, or whizz them quickly in a food processor. Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat for a minute, then add olive oil, rosemary and red pepper and shake to combine. Cook for another minute, then add onion, thyme, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne and bay leaf and sauté until the onions are translucent, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes, sugar, orange juice and peel, along with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 8 to 10 minutes over medium-low heat, until reduced by a third. Adjust seasoning.
- Pour the tomato sauce into a large baking dish that you can put on the table. Transfer the meatballs to the sauce, putting them about ½ inch from each other. Bake for 15 or 20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the meatballs are cooked through.
- Top with crumbled feta and scattered mint.

- 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.
