SPICED LAMB MEATBALLS WITH YOGURT AND HERBS
These spice-loaded meatballs have a Turkish inflection. The warm yogurt sauce adds tang and richness, along with a sprinkling of tart sumac powder and chopped mint. American "Greek-style" yogurt is not always tart enough, but it can be thinned with a bit of buttermilk or even lemon juice. Whisking it with cornstarch and egg produces a silky sauce. Though the ingredient list looks long, this is a simple and impressive dish to make.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, use your hands to combine lamb, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, onion, cumin, coriander, cinnamon and cayenne. Beat 2 of the eggs and add to meat, mixing until incorporated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 24 hours to allow the seasonings to permeate the meat.
- Using wet hands, break off walnut-sized pieces of lamb mixture, roll into spheres and set aside on a baking sheet. You should have about 30 1-ounce meatballs.
- Heat oven to 225 degrees. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add meatballs in one layer and brown for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook for 4 to 5 minutes more. (Work in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding the pan.) Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to blot any extra oil, then pile meatballs on a heatproof serving platter and keep warm in the oven.
- Pour off any excess oil from skillet and turn heat to high. Add broth and bring to a simmer. In a bowl, whisk together yogurt; 1/2 teaspoon salt; remaining egg, beaten; and cornstarch. Pour yogurt mixture in a thin stream into the hot broth, whisking constantly. Turn heat down slightly and continue whisking until yogurt is heated through and slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Do not let mixture boil.
- Pour hot yogurt sauce over meatballs. Sprinkle crumbled feta, sumac and crushed red pepper on top. Finish with pinches of turmeric, if using, and sprinkle with mint, dill and cilantro. Serve immediately with rice, orzo, pita bread or potatoes.

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.

20 HOMEMADE SAUCES FOR MEATBALLS - INSANELY GOOD
From insanelygoodrecipes.com
5/5 (6)Published Dec 10, 2021Category Recipe Roundup
- Marinara Sauce. The obvious choice for adding marinara sauce to your meatballs is to go to the store and buy a jar of Newman’s Own. However, homemade marinara sauce is so much more flavorful.
- Swedish Meatball Sauce. Swedish meatball sauce requires a few more ingredients than homemade marinara, but it actually takes less time to make. It’s thick, creamy, buttery, and full of flavor.
- Honey Garlic Meatball Sauce. If you’re looking for something with a bit of an Asian flair, these sweet, spicy, and savory meatballs are an excellent option.
- Sweet and Sour Meatball Sauce. All you’ll need to make this simple sweet and sour meatball sauce is ketchup and grape jelly. I know it seems impossible that something that tastes so good can be so simple, but it’s true.
- Grape Jelly Sauce. This sauce, too, uses grape jelly, but instead of ketchup, you’ll add chili sauce. It makes it a thicker, richer sauce with just a bit of heat to back it up.
- Garlic Butter Sauce. This four-ingredient sauce is perfect for anyone who truly loves garlic. Although there’s also flour and chicken broth on the ingredients list, it tastes primarily of butter and garlic.
- Dipping Sauce. If you’re in a big hurry, meatball dipping sauce is the way to go. It takes only 6 minutes to make and uses only 6 ingredients. You can make it with cornflour, apple cider vinegar, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, water, and ketchup.
- Tomato Sauce. Sometimes, the best sauce for meatballs is one that’s simple and full of fresh garden flavor. That’s precisely what tomato sauce is. All you’ll need is garlic, a bay leaf, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and whole plum tomatoes.
- Vodka Cream Sauce. This recipe is for an entire dish, but if all you’re interested in is the sauce, stick to the first two steps in the instructions.
- Sunday Sauce. Sunday sauce might have a short, simple name, but the ingredients list is actually one of the longest of all the sauces on the list. There’s olive oil, pork neck bones, Italian sausage, diced onions, salt, garlic, red wine, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, water, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
