# Directions:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, red onion, garlic, parsley, dill, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Mix gently until just incorporated. Form into 16 evenly sized meatballs.
02 - Set Instant Pot to Sauté mode and heat olive oil. Brown meatballs in batches, cooking 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer browned meatballs to a plate.
03 - Add minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in crushed tomatoes, broth, oregano, salt, and pepper, scraping up browned bits from the bottom.
04 - Return the meatballs to the pot, nestling them into the tomato sauce and spooning extra sauce over the top.
05 - Secure the lid and seal the Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 7 minutes. Allow natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then perform quick release to release any remaining pressure.
06 - While meatballs cook, blend feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, fresh herbs, and freshly ground pepper in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
07 - Plate meatballs topped with tomato sauce and a generous dollop of lemon-feta sauce. Garnish with additional herbs and lemon zest if desired.
