I was inspired by these appetizing lamb meatballs by Cooking with Michele while looking for a recipe to cook our local sustainably raised organic Lava Lake Lamb. Enjoy!

“When you buy meat directly from a farmer or rancher, you buy in quantity, and in an effort to use all of the animal (isn’t it really selfish to kill an animal for only a tenderloin steak?), that quantity usually includes a fair amount of ground meat. I’ve come to the conclusion that you can modify many or most recipes calling for ground beef to use ground turkey, lamb or pork. But changing up the seasonings from say a basic Italian spice blend, to something more Moroccan – well that changes everything!

I give you lamb meatballs with yogurt sauce. Really easy. Really flavorful. And really a nice break from an Italian meatball once in awhile.”
