Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil and cook the meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Prepare the Quinoa Tabbouleh:

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, parsley, mint, tomatoes, and cucumber.
2
Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, then toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble:

2
Add a dollop of tzatziki on the side. Serve with pita bread or a simple cucumber and chickpea salad if desired.
