Other Ingredients:
- 1 head butter lettuce
- 1 cup Golden Rice or whatever kind of rice/grain you like!

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl combine all ingredients for your meatballs and mix well.
- Round into 1 inch balls and set on a parchment lined baking sheet, with an inch of space between each. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until cooked through (this will depend on the protein you use, cut one open to make sure there isn’t any pink left in the meat).

- Assemble the lettuce wraps: place a piece of butter lettuce down, fill with rice, kefta, top with tomatoes, cilantro and the yogurt sauce.
