    A staple in our weeknight rotation

    Made with falafel rather than meatballs.

    I loved all components of this dish (probably more so than my husband who is never a big fan of lamb. Oh well some nights he has to deal.) I did half peas and half fresh fava beans that I've been looking to use up in every which way. My only complaint was the recipe called for making 16 meatballs which, to me, were quite huge once I measured them out and I was very dubious they'd cook through in 8-10 minutes at that size in the oven. I decided to turn them into 32 smaller meatballs instead, and still cooked them a little longer (12 minutes) to get just right.

    Couscous was good, but the meatballs & yogurt sauce were fantastic. Subbed frozen peas & pistachios.

    Used Aleppo instead of cayenne pepper, amazing Note - Different mint preparations (chopped vs. whole or torn) Delicious - will make sauce again

    Phenomenal!! So delicious. Definitely labor intensive but such vibrant flavoring.

    This was outstanding. I used pearl couscous and substituted pistachios for almonds, but otherwise followed the recipe closely and it turned out great.

    Couscous is stellar. Meatballs are decent but you could use any old meatball here and do just fine. Pork sub for lamb fine too. Good yogurt sauce.

  • SheilaS on April 26, 2018

    This is excellent and unlike many of the recipes in the book, the three components (couscous, meatballs and yogurt sauce) make a full meal. With all the mint & scallions, the yogurt sauce isn't really drizzle-able like the recipe says but it is delicious and I would make extra next time.

    Delightful! We really enjoyed this dish. A little bit of work to put together, but I split it over two nights as the recipe suggested one could do. Lovely mix of flavors and textures. We'll definitely make this one again.
