Tender, herby lamb meatballs simmered in tomato and finished with cool yogurt. Here it's built on ground beef or lamb, breadcrumbs and egg -- a medium, Mediterranean recipe that starts by mixing the meat, and is ready in roughly 60 minutes.

Worth the 60 minutes -- this is a weekend project that pays off.

A few technique steps to focus on, but nothing that needs special equipment.

Built around ground beef or lamb, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.
