Aromatic Lamb Meatballs

Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 35 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons semolina
  • 1 egg
  • vegetable oil, for frying

Recipe

  • 1 put the lamb into a bowl and add the scallions.
  • 2 sprinkle over the spices, salt, and semolina.
  • 3 beat the egg and add to the bowl.
  • 4 work everything together thoroughly with your hands; cover with plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator for half an hour.
  • 5 line a baking sheet with plastic wrap.
  • 6 scoop out a scant teaspoon of the mixture.
  • 7 roll in your hands to form the meatball and place on the lined baking sheet.
  • 8 have a bowl of cold water beside you to dampen your hands with; this helps them not get too sticky for rolling the meatballs.
  • 9 when you are ready to cook them, heat about 1/2-inch of oil in a frying pan.
  • 10 line another baking sheet with kitchen towel.
  • 11 when the oil is hot, fry the meatballs in batches without overcrowding the pan.
  • 12 cook them for about a minute a side, or until golden brown all over.
