These gingery meatballs are a snap to make—you just drop them from a tablespoon onto the broiler rack. While the meatballs cook, the veggies simmer, so it’s a one-pot meal that tastes like it took much longer to make. Use a melon ball to scoop the meat mixture and shape them into evenly-sized meatballs. Roll the meat into balls using the palm of your hands. Stand near the sink or keep a small bowl of water nearby in case the meat starts to stick to your hands, you can quickly wet your hands to prevent this.
