Hi all, I am planning the menu for a party, and this beetroot walnut pasta is the main course: https://walnuts.org/recipe/creamy-beet-pasta-with-walnut-breadcrumbs-and-ricotta/ I want to make one vegetarian (no eggs) and one non-vegetarian side to go along with this. For the vegetarian side, I’m thinking of something along the lines of za’atar paneer, similar to this recipe: https://dairyfarmersofcanada.ca/en/canadian-goodness/recipes/grilled-spiced-paneer and not going to make it a very complicated dish. I am stumped about the non-vegetarian side. Some kind of meatballs (mutton or lamb) sound good but I don’t want to reuse the za’atar spices. I was thinking of a koobideh-style kebab but instead of making them elongated (because I’ll be cooking in a pan) i could make them into small ovals. I would really appreciate any insight on what kind of recipe I should follow for the meatballs which will work well with both the other dishes, or any other suggestions.
