SPICED MEATBALL SOUP

Steps:

• Grate 1/2 onion over a medium bowl, collecting any juices in the bowl. Add the beef, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, the cumin, allspice, and 3/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; mix well. Form into 24 meatballs (about 1 rounded tablespoon each).
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 6 minutes. Remove the meatballs to a plate. Wipe out the pot with a paper towel.
• Dice the remaining 1/2 onion. Cut one of the lemon halves into 4 wedges and juice the other half. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons cinnamon and cook, stirring to coat, 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, rice and meatballs to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the meatballs are cooked through and the soup thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the soup among bowls. Serve with the lemon wedges.

HEARTY MEATBALL STEW

Steps:

• For the meatballs: Place the bread and 3 tablespoons water into a medium bowl. Mash to a paste with a spatula. Add the beef, sausage, egg, parsley, salt and pepper. Blend the mixture thoroughly with your hands or a flexible spatula. Form the mixture into 10 to 16 meatballs. Arrange the meatballs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet until ready to use.
• For the hearty meatball stew: Sprinkle the meatballs with the flour and turn to coat with any flour still on the foil. Heat a large heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Drop the meatballs into the skillet, spaced apart. Cook until the bottoms are set and brown, about 2 minutes. Using a flexible thin spatula, turn each meatball onto an uncooked side and cook until the bottoms are set and brown, about 2 minutes longer. Turn and cook a third side, until set and brown, about another 2 minutes, so the meatballs are browned and set all over. Transfer the meatballs to a large plate.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, peppers, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Cook until soft, 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and the remaining salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, beans, tomatoes, red pepper flakes and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan and cook until the potatoes are tender and the meatballs are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
