Spiced Beef Meatballs with Lemon Yoghurt Sauce
A delicious little morsel to serve at your next gathering. We absolutely love these meatballs teamed up with this tangy lemon yoghurt sauce for a burst of freshness and zing. These are so easy that we think they will become a new favourite when asked to bring a plate.
