Cooking Steps
- Combine tzatziki and 2 tbsp water (dbl for 4 ppl) in a small bowl.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/4 -inch pieces.
- Finely chop parsley.
- Add 2/3 cup water and garlic salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, remove the pot from heat, then add couscous. Stir to combine.
- Cover and let stand for 5 min.
- When couscous is tender, fluff with a fork.
- Add onions, peppers, zucchini, half the Mediterranean spice blend and 2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Roast, in the bottom of the oven until tender-crisp and golden brown, 15-17 min.
- Add lamb, breadcrumbs, half the parsley and remaining Mediterranean spice blend to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then combine.(TIP: If you prefer a firmer meatball, add an egg to the mixture!)
- Roll mixture into 12 equal-sized meatballs (24 for 4 ppl).
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then meatballs. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook meatballs in 2 batches if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.) Cook, turning meatballs often, until browned all over and cooked through, 8-10 min.**
- Carefully drain and discard all but 1 tbsp fat from the pan.
- Remove pan from heat. Add in all meatballs and fig spread. Toss to coat meatballs evenly.
- Add roasted vegetables and remaining parsley to the pot with the couscous. Stir gently to combine.
- Divide couscous between plates. Top couscous with meatballs and spoon over any remaining glaze from the pan.
- Sprinkle feta over top.
- Spoon over tzatziki.
