Chef Einat's meatballs will ruin all other meatballs for you. The beef meatballs are tender and packed with herbs like mint, oregano and parsley, and pair perfectly with a creamy tzatzaki sauce on the side. Blistered cherry tomatoes add sweetness to the plate, which is made complete with a side of fried shallot-topped spiced pearl couscous. Enjoy a comforting, well-rounded taste of the Mediterranean.
