Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (use same for 4 servings).
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Meanwhile, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
Cook orzo
2
  • To the boiling water, add orzo.
  • Cook for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Strain orzo, then return to the pot, off heat. Stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter.
Form and roast meatballs
3
  • Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • To a large bowl, add beef, breadcrumbs, half the Dill-Garlic Spice Blend, and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt, then combine. Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
  • On the prepared baking sheet, arrange meatballs. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until browned and cooked through.**
Roast veggies
4
  • Meanwhile, to another parchment-lined baking sheet, add peppers, zucchini and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
  • Roast in the top of the oven until veggies are tender-crisp, 10-12 min.
Finish orzo
5
  • To a small microwavable bowl, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and garlic. 
  • Microwave for 30 sec-1 min, stirring often, until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant.
  • To the large pot with orzo, add garlic butter, remaining Dill-Garlic Spice Blend, tomatoes, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon zest and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide orzo between bowls.
  • Top with meatballs and roasted veggies.
  • Drizzle with yogurt sauce.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
  • Sprinkle parsley over top.
