NYAM. Not Your Average Meatballs: We’ll tell ya why. First of all, we ditched the more familiar Italian flavors and tossed in lemon + orange zest, harissa, ras el hanout (a Moroccan spice blend that usually includes cumin, coriander, turmeric, clove and nutmeg), coconut milk, and breadcrumbs. The result, when covered in the zesty-herby tomato sauce, is, let’s just say, heavenly. Set your meatballs over your farro + barley, and for the love of garlic don’t forget the creamy dreamy labneh!
What’s in your bag:
- Spiced beef meatballs

The Meatballs
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- Place the meatballs and sauce in an oven-safe casserole dish. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Pop your pan in the oven and set a timer for 18-20 minutes.
- When it dings, check to be sure the meatballs are heated through. If not, give them a couple more minutes.
The Farro + Barley
