While potatoes roast, boil rice in 2 cups salted water until tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Shape ground beef into 8–10 balls, each about the size of a walnut. Season with 1 tsp cumin, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear meatballs 2 minutes per side until golden outside.
