Description

Flavor-packed meatballs with tons of spices and fresh herbs to make you feel you’re on the Mediterranean, right now.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Lean Ground Beef (or Lamb)
  • 2 slices White Bread, Torn Into Small Pieces
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ½ whole Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Finely Chopped
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ cups Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
  • ¼ cups Flat-leaf Parsley, Chopped
  • ¼ cups Fresh Mint, Chopped
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinammon
  • ⅛ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper, Or To Taste
  • ½ Tablespoons Paprika
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cumin

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and set it aside.

2. Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and knead with your hands until well combined (or use a food processor).

3. Shape the mixture into tightly packed meatballs, molding them into ovals. Make sure that there is no hollow spot in the middle of the meatballs. Place meatballs on the baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping the meatballs after about 15 minutes. Check after 20 minutes: if they’re brown all over, they are ready.

4. Serve with a yogurt-mint dressing and Bulgur Pilaf (see my TastyKitchen recipe box for my Bulgur Pilaf recipe).
