    2) Cook the meatballs either in a skillet on the stove or in a 450 oven for 12-15 minutes depending on the size, meanwhile, make the tzatziki.

    3) In the same food processor (no need to rinse it first) add the herbs, garlic and lemon zest, blend until finely minced, add to a bowl along with the yogurt, lemon juice, salt and olive oil and stir until well combined.

    4) Serve the meatballs on a bed of grain (could be rice, quinoa or even cauliflower rice) some mixed greens and veggies and plenty of tzatziki!
