SPAGHETTI AND LAMB MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil for the spaghetti.
• For the meatballs: In a large bowl, add the lamb, pork, Parmesan, parsley, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic and some salt and pepper. Mix until combined; be sure not to overmix, so the meatballs stay tender. Form into 24 golfball-size balls; place on a large plate, and chill in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm up, so the meatballs don't fall apart when seared.
• For the sauce: Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to coat the pan, then add the meatballs. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the seared meatballs to a plate. To the same pan, add the garlic and onion; saute until the garlic just begins to brown at the edges. Add the pureed tomatoes, oregano, some salt and pepper, and the meatballs. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the meatballs are fully cooked, 30 minutes.
• Add the spaghetti to the pot of boiling water, and cook according to package directions. Strain into a colander, then add the cooked pasta to tomato sauce, tossing everything together to coat the noodles. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan, and serve.

LAMB MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Melt the 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the shallots in the skillet until tender. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Mix lamb, bread crumbs, parsley, egg, and lemon zest into the bowl with the shallots. Season with marjoram, salt, and pepper. Let stand 1 hour in the refrigerator.
• Melt 1/2 cup butter and heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Form the lamb mixture into small meatballs, and cook in the skillet in batches until evenly brown. Do not drain skillet. Drain meatballs on paper towels, and place in a serving dish.
• Mix tomato sauce, wine, garlic, and cinnamon into the skillet. Cook and stir until well blended and heated through. Drizzle over the meatballs in the dish. Serve with toothpicks.

CRISPY LAMB MEATBALLS WITH CHICKPEAS AND EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Combine lamb, fennel seeds, garlic and 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and black pepper to taste, and mix until everything is well combined and the spices are evenly distributed.
• Using your hands, roll lamb mixture into balls about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. You should have about 12 meatballs.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs - work in batches if your skillet can't comfortably fit them all without crowding - and cook, gently rotating them occasionally so they more or less brown on all sides while keeping a vaguely round shape, 8 to 10 minutes. (Do not stress about this part; they will be delicious no matter what shape they are.) After they are evenly browned and cooked through, transfer them to a plate, leaving the fat and any browned bits behind.
• Add 4 tablespoons oil to the skillet and, working in batches, if needed, add eggplant slices in an even layer, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook the slices, flipping them once, until they are browned on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add more oil as needed. After eggplant slices are cooked and browned, transfer them to the plate with the meatballs.
• Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil to the skillet, along with chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking the skillet and stirring occasionally, until chickpeas are nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes. (They won't exactly crisp; you're just looking to take the edge off and get them nicely seasoned.)
• Season yogurt with salt and pepper and smear onto the bottom of a large plate or serving platter. Top with meatballs, eggplant and chickpeas. Scatter with greens and cilantro, and then squeeze lemon halves over everything before serving.

CARROT MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Prepare all ingrediatns as listed above and mix well. I prefer using my stand-mixer with the open paddle-blade.
• Form into 1/8 cup meatballs and place in a baking pan, preferably a broiler pan, especially if using a higher-fat content meat. (I use an 1/8 cup measuring spoon and pack the meat into it on the side of the bowl, then use another spoon to pull it out and form the balls a little better on the pan--quicker than trying to do it by hand and less messy!).
• Bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes. (The cook book suggested frying them, and serving with a brown gravy, but baking is healthier, and the gravy only covers the great flavor!).

CURRIED LAMB MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Put the lamb in a mixing bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet and add 1/2 cup of the onions and half of the garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, until wilted. Sprinkle with cumin and ground coriander and stir. Let cool briefly.
• Scrape the onion mixture onto the lamb. Add the fresh coriander, bread crumbs, egg, salt and pepper. Blend well with the fingers. Shape the mixture into 20 round balls.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the remaining 3/4 cup chopped onions, the remaining garlic and the curry powder. Cook, stirring, until the onions are wilted. Add the apples and banana and stir to blend.
• Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Let simmer 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and pour the mixture into the container of a food processor or electric blender. Blend thoroughly. Return the mixture to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add the meatballs. It may be necessary to use two skillets or repeat the browning of the meatballs, half of them at a time. Turn the meatballs so that they brown evenly, about 5 minutes.
• Add the meatballs to the sauce, cover and let simmer about 15 minutes.

SPICY LAMB & CARROT MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Coarsely grate the carrots and reserve half for the sauce. Place the remainder in a bowl with the mince, garlic, breadcrumbs, mint, spices and egg yolk and mix together. Divide into 28 pieces then roll each into a small ball. If time allows, chill for 20 mins.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan, when hot, add a little of the oil and the meatballs. Cook over a high heat for about 8 mins, shaking the pan occasionally to turn the meatballs until they are golden brown all over.
• Stir in the chopped onion and remaining carrots then fry for a further 2 mins. Pour in the passata sauce, season well, then cover and simmer uncovered for 6-8 mins until the sauce has thickened slightly. Serve with freshly cooked pasta.
