These Spicy Lamb Kofta Meatballs are a flavorful twist on classic meatballs, using aromatic Middle Eastern spices like cumin, coriander, and fresh mint in the ground lamb mix. The high-protein Meatballs are gently simmered in a simple tomato sauce infused with a touch of chili. The long simmer ensures the lamb is incredibly tender and the sauce is rich and savory. This easy, comforting meal is perfect for serving over pasta, rice, or scooped up with pita bread.
