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.

Steps:
- Heat a good splash of olive oil in a cooking pot, over high heat.
- Caramelize the onion and garlic.
- Pour in the wine. Add the allspice and bay leaves. Wait until wine evaporates completely.
- Add the tomato paste, the canned tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add 4 cups of water, the sugar, ground cumin and season with salt and pepper. Simmer partly covered for about 30-40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, start making the meatballs.
- Preheat oven to 200°C / 392°F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs.
- Knead the mixture for 2-3 minutes for everything to incorporate well. It should feel very soft and moist. And just firm enough to hold some shape. Otherwise, you may add another splash of water to it.
- Divide mixture to about 14 parts. Shape each into a round ball and then give it a bit of oval shape. Place in a baking dish or pan that fits the meatballs and is deep enough to include the sauce as well.
- Once you placed all the meatballs in the pan or baking dish, pour the sauce on top all over using a ladle. Bake for about 40-50 minutes. Flipping the meatballs at least once so they cook evenly all over.
- Serve with rice, pasta, or potatoes. I added some toasted pine nuts and chopped fresh parsley on top. You can also serve them with some spicy red pepper flakes and a spoonful of Greek yogurt on top.

Steps:
- For the Greek meatballs: In a food processor, or a mini food processor, combine the bread, milk, and mint leaves or dried mint. Process to get wet breadcrumbs. Alternatively, you can tear the bread into small pieces, then transfer to a bowl and mix in the milk. Let rest for 10 minutes, then vigorously stir to bread up the bread. Mix in the mint. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the onion, eggs, and oregano. Season with the salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Mix in the breadcrumbs, then add the meat. Using your hands, crumble the meat and mix it with the flavorings, making sure to thoroughly combine the meats and distribute the flavorings properly.
- Set a rack in the middle of the oven, then preheat to 425°F (210°C). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then grease with cooking spray or by lightly coating with oil. Shape 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the meat mixture into an oval meatball. (You can alternatively shape the meat into 2 tbsp/30 ml round meatballs.) Transfer the meatball to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat to shape all the meatballs. You should get about 20 large oval meatballs, or 40 smaller, round meatballs.
- Bake large, oval meatballs for 14 minutes, or small, round meatballs for 9 minutes. Turn the broiler on and brown the meatballs for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside if the spiced tomato sauce isn't ready yet.
- For the spiced tomato sauce: In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the ground tomatoes, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cayenne pepper, if using, and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and cook for 15 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Nestle the meatballs in the sauce. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, or until the meatballs are hot and cooked through.
- SERVING: Garnish the Greek meatballs with crumbled feta cheese and chopped flat-leaf parsley. Serve with steamed rice or egg noodles and a side salad.
- STORAGE: Store leftover meatballs in portions in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
