Nourish and Fete - Fresh, fast dinner recipes.

These Moroccan-inspired Lamb Meatballs are quick to make but tender, delicious, and a fun way to diversify your dinner routine with Mediterranean vibes. Plenty of herbs add flavor to the beef-lamb mixture, which then bakes in the oven for hands-off convenience. Serve with couscous or rice, your favorite veggies, and fresh pita for bonus points.
