Trying to keep up with the USDA’s recommendation of at least four meatballs per week! Luckily, Ayesha Nurdjaja’s tasty Kofta Meatballs With Pistachio-Arugula Sauce are helping me hit my quota.
These juicy, pan-fried beef and lamb kofta are packed with onion, garlic, parsley, and cilantro, then served atop a vibrant green sauce—a bold purée of pistachios, parsley, arugula, and lemon.
At first, I questioned the chunks of lemon in the sauce, but that bright, acidic hit perfectly cuts through the richness of the meat. I don’t often call meatballs a showstopper, but these absolutely are!
