Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken or turkey (substitute beef, lamb, or a combination)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Fustinis' Fig balsamic
⅓ cup seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons dried chives
2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
kosher salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Fustini's Gremolata olive oil
1 cup hummus
2 cups white rice, for serving
1 cup chopped tomatoes
½ cup crumbled feta
lemon wedge for spritzing

Directions

Combine the chicken, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, balsamic, herbs, lemon zest, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until just combined. Form the mixture into meatballs that are roughly 1 inch in size.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer and cook until they are browned on all sides and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, around 10 minutes or so.
Serve the meatballs with the hummus (3 to 4 meatballs to about ⅓ cup hummus). Add on some white rice, tomatoes, feta, and fresh herbs. Spritz with lemon before serving!
