Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.  Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep
2
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch moons.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Roughly chop dill.
Cook veggies
3
  • To an unlined baking sheet, add zucchini, peppers and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Add Lemon-Pepper Seasoning and season with salt, then toss to combine.

  • Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • To a large bowl, add beef, Dill-Garlic Spice Blend and breadcrumbs. Season with pepper, 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 or until browned and cooked through.**
Make yogurt sauce
5
  • To a small bowl, add yogurt, half the dill, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) water, half the lemon zest and half the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
