Moroccan-Inspired Meatball Recipe

0 Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add in the diced onion and minced garlic and saute for 5 minutes until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
1 Add the spices to the onion and garlic and toss to coat. Toast the onions in the pot for 1 minute.
2 Add the crushed tomatoes, lemon juice, and broth to the pot and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
3 While the sauce is coming to a boil, make the meatballs by combining the ground beef, salt, parsley, Aleppo flakes, and garlic into a bowl. Use a #40 scoop to form your meatballs (or roll 1” meatballs).
4 Gently drop the meatballs into the simmering sauce. Partially cover the pot and keep at a gentle simmer for 45 minutes.
5 Serve over a spread of Greek yogurt with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh mint, crushed almonds, freshly chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Enjoy!
