Za’Atar Spiced Meatballs

Ingredients: 1 lb. ground lamb or turkey 3 tbsp. bread crumbs 7 tsp. Za’Atar Seasoning, divided 1 tbsp. olive oil Notes: Shaping the meatballs into pyramids not only makes for a fun presentation, but makes them easier to brown without chasing them!

Directions: Preheat oven to 375°. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix bread crumbs and 6 tsp. Za’Atar seasoning (reserve 1 tsp.) into ground meat. Create 10 golf ball sized meatballs and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Using both hands, press evenly with forefingers and thumbs on both sides of the meatballs to form into pyramid shapes. Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium/high heat. Brown each side of the meatballs, 1-2 minutes per side. Place meatballs back on baking sheets and sprinkle with remaining Za’Atar seasoning. Bake in oven for 5-6 minutes. Serving Suggestions: Great served with Cinnamon-Lemon Couscous and Mt. Olympus Spiced Tzatziki Sauce. Yields: 10 meatballs Thanks to: Mike Johnston, Savory Spice Shop Founder
