INGREDIENTS LIST FOR THE KOSHER MOROCCAN SPICED MEATBALLS -

1 pound Prairie Street Prime Ground Beef

2 large cloves garlic, peeled and smashed to a paste with 2 teaspoons of Kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon fennel seed

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or other dried chili flake (optional)

1/4 cup raisins or dried currants, soaked in water or Kosher red or white wine

1/4 cup mint, chiffonade (parsley and basil work nicely, too)

1 egg

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Extra virgin olive oil as needed for cooking

To Prepare Your Kosher Moroccan Spiced Meatballs

Preheat your oven to 375F.

In a large mixing bowl combine your Prairie Street Prime Premium Ground Beef, garlic paste, cumin, coriander, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, soaked raisins or currants with wine (if using water to soak the currants, discard the water), mint, egg, and Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using clean hands gently combine all of the ingredients together, being careful not to over mix. Shape into 2-inch meatballs.

Over a medium to high flame, heat a large, ovenproof sauté pan and coat with extra virgin olive oil. Add the meatballs, being sure not to crowd the pan, and brown on all sides. Once seared on all sides, transfer the pan to your preheated oven. Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 160F.

Serve your Moroccan Spiced Meatballs with a drizzling of the Kosher non-dairy yogurt sauce.
