Other Recipes   Moroccan Meatballs with Cumin, Cinnamon & Mint   Home

 

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, diced
1 1/2 lb ground or minced lamb
8 garlic cloves, pressed
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup loosely packed Italian parsley, finely chopped
1 cup (don’t skimp) loosely packed fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cumin
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 lemon


Warm oil in pan and saute onion until soft. Let cool in large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Form mixture into walnut-sized balls and place on lightly oiled cooking sheet. Broil about 4 inches from heat for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice to cook evenly. Squeeze lemon juice over balls and serve.


Makes about 50 balls, depending on size. May be refrigerated for a day before cooking, or cooked and reheated.
