Very simple recipe, and really quite good. We weren't blown away, but we definitely enjoyed it. I think we will make this again because it's very quick, and we always have the ingredients on hand. Thank you for sharing.

I read through the reviews and decided not to add any more cumin powder. One half teaspoon was perfect in this recipe. We really like that the meatballs weren't drenched in sauce. I'm happy I stumbled upon this recipe! We'll be making it again. Reviewed for Spice of the Month in N*A*M*E.

Well, I looked at the ingredients and thought "That doesn't seem like enough cumin to be able to taste it" but then I quickly came to my senses and prepared the recipe verbatim because I've learned not to fool with Mirjam's recipes. And I'm glad I did, because the flavour was just right. Served them with dressed pasta and a light salad. Wunderbar!

These meatballs were very nice!! i used a can of dices tomatoes instead of the tomatoe paste, and it was a nice addition over rice. very nice and easy too.
