Yield

Serves: 4-6

Preparation

For the yogurt: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse yogurt ingredients to combine until you reach your desired consistency. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

For the meatballs: Slice the chicken thighs into thirds; do not remove any fat. Aside from the olive oil, add all meatball ingredients to the bowl of a food processor (no need to clean out the bowl after making the yogurt), taking care to evenly distribute the ingredients. Pulse a few times to break up the meat, then mix until a coarse paste forms.

Using your hands or a ½-ounce ice cream scoop, form meatballs and set on a work surface.

In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Working in batches without overcrowding the pan, fry the meatballs, turning them constantly to help keep their shape, until caramelized, 6 to 8 minutes.

For the beans: Sauté the green beans in olive oil over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and cook with the lid on for another 2 to 3 minutes. Uncover and add the garlic and season with salt and pepper.

For the quinoa: Prepare the quinoa according to package instructions, swapping in chicken stock for water and adding the onion.

To serve, add the meatballs, green beans and quinoa into a bowl, and top with the herby yogurt.
