These spiced meatballs include a mix of fresh herbs and traditional Moroccan flavors, and they are accompanied by a cooling lemon and mint yogurt dip. Serve this dish as a party appetizer or make it into dinner paired with whole-wheat couscous or a salad to round out the meal. To keep these meatballs tender, it is important not to overwork the meat—mix it just until combined. And use your hands since you can feel when the mixture is incorporated. Cooking them on a cooling rack lets the hot air in the oven circulate, browning the meatballs on all sides.
