What You'll Need
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Step 1
Chop half of the cucumbers into bite-size pieces, reserving the rest for another use. Finely chop 2 cloves garlic. Chop all of the parsley and dill, including a bit of the stems.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the cucumbers, garlic, ¼ cup of the parsley, and ½ cup of the dill. Add the yogurt and 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
Step 3
Roll the lamb into meatballs about 1½ to 2 inches in diameter (you should have 12 meatballs). In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 3 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the meatballs and cook until browned and firm, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Meanwhile, reheat the rice in the microwave until steamed through and warm, 1 to 2 minutes or according to package instructions. Transfer the rice to a bowl and fluff with a fork. Add the juice of 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and the remaining herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the other lemon into wedges.
Step 5
Spoon the herbed rice onto plates, top with the lamb meatballs, and dollop with the cucumber salad. Serve warm, with the lemon wedges for squeezing.
