In this episode, I make cured lemon and herbed lamb meatballs served over creamy feta yogurt and topped with a vibrant shallot & herb pomegranate salad. The tangy cured lemon adds a bright contrast to the savory meatballs, making the dish feel both fresh and indulgent. The herbed lamb is tender and flavorful, showcasing the rich taste of American Lamb. Pairing it with the creamy feta yogurt creates a perfect balance of textures and flavors. The shallot and pomegranate salad on top adds a crisp, refreshing bite to each mouthful.

This meal feels fancy but is surprisingly easy to make. American Lamb is not only delicious, but it also supports hardworking farmers. By choosing locally sourced lamb, we're helping to sustain agricultural communities and enjoy fresher, more flavorful ingredients. I owe a big thank you to Reed and Robyn Anderson of Anderson Ranches in Brownsville, Oregon for generously allowing us to visit and speak with them about all things raising quality lambs.
