Bison (or buffalo) tastes a lot like beef, but it's much leaner and healthier. Here, ground bison is combined with toasted cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds to make aromatic mini meatballs, served with a bright-green yogurt dipping sauce. Don't be put off by the long ingredient list: The food processor does most of the hard work. Also, the cilantro-yogurt sauce can be made ahead. Serve with whole-wheat pita or flatbread, and sautéed veggies such as zucchini and red peppers. Have some fresh seasonal fruit for dessert.
