Title: Chicken-Zucchini Meatballs w/Feta
Categories: Squash, Poultry, Cheese, Herbs, Breads
Yield: 4 servings

3 lg Zucchini (1 1/2 lb)
Salt & black pepper
1 lg Shallot; halved
1/2 c Panko
1 1/2 ts Ground cumin
1 ts Red-pepper flakes
1 lb Ground chicken or turkey
2 tb Chopped fresh mint, basil,
- parsley or dill; more for
- serving
1/4 c Extra-virgin olive oil; more
- for greasing & drizzling
3 tb Lemon juice
4 oz Feta

Set the oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.

Cut 2 of the zucchini in 1/2" thick slices. Transfer to
a plate, season with salt, and set aside.

Working over a large bowl, using the large holes of a
box grater, grate the remaining zucchini. Grate 1
shallot half into the bowl as well. Add the panko,
cumin, 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon
salt, and use your hands to toss until combined. Add the
chicken and herbs and toss gently until combined.

Lightly grease a baking sheet. With wet hands, form the
chicken mixture into 16 meatballs (around 2 to 3
tablespoons each) and place them on one side of the
baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and roast for 10
minutes.

Meanwhile, pat the sliced zucchini dry, then lightly
coat with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with
pepper.

Coarsely chop the remaining shallot half and transfer to
a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, season with salt, and
stir to combine.

Add the sliced zucchini to the other half of the baking
sheet, moving the meatballs over, if necessary. Bake
until the meatballs are cooked through and the zucchini
is golden on the underside, another 15 to 20 minutes.
For more browned meatballs, broil for a few minutes, if
desired.

Meanwhile, crumble the feta into the shallot mixture.
Add the ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil and the remaining
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes. Stir, breaking up the
feta a bit, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Eat the meatballs and zucchini with a drizzle of the
feta sauce and more fresh herbs.
