  • 3 teaspoons oregano

Lamb Meatballs (recipe above)

Roasted Fall Veggies (recipe above)

Perfect Tahini Sauce (recipe below)

Perfect Tahini Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup tahini paste
  • 1 lime juiced a really big juicy one
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and pace each veggies on a baking sheet.
  3. Season the veggies equally with salt, pepper, oregano and drizzle with olive oil. Toss the veggies and roast them until tender. Depending on the veggie, this take anywhere from 20-30 mins.
  4. In the meantime, mix all ingredients for the lamb meatballs in a large bowl. Shape the lamb meatballs into an inch and half size balls.
  5. Cook the lamb meatballs: Either by searing the meatballs in a skillet over medium high heat with a tablespoon of olive oil until golden and then finish cooking them in the oven for 15 minutes. Or finish cooking them over the stove by covering the skillet with a lid and allowing the meat to cook all the way though—about 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can grill the meatballs too over medium heat, with the lid covered for 20 minutes.

Recipe Notes

Use American lamb for the best tasting lamb meatballs ever. Ever.

Don’t over work your lamb meatballs, because they’ll harden for you. So gently shape them and cook them right away.

Roasting each veggie separately is a must to have each veggie cook perfectly.

Finally, don’t skimp on the Perfect Tahini Sauce. It’s like the secret flavor balancer ingredient, if that’s even a word?
