A nice combination of taste, and a little different. I made these half size and served them as an appetizer with a tart cranberry dip. From local newspaper.

I had made these as appetizers. Made about 40 meatballs. Only cooked it for about 20 minutes in oven and kept them warm in my crockpot mixed with some mango chutney. I am not crazy about lamb so I used hamburger. It was delicious. They all went pretty quick. So easy to make. Will make again another time. It was Moroccan food night this time.

    oh wow. These are really flavorful. I am having them with some lingonberry sauce on the side, but i love the suggestions by other reviewers of yogurt sauce etc. I can imagine with tzatziki too.

    If you are craving some lamb, but want to go easy on your budget, try these great meatballs. They have a wonderful flavor highlighted by the interesting spices. I made a creamy curry sauce with onions, and apples to drizzle on the baked meatballs, and served it with some more couscous and roasted broccoli with lemon and garlic. Derf, this is a very repeatable recipe...thanks.

    Great recipe - just enough spice to make them interesting. I cut the recipe in half with no problem - I did add 1 tbsp over the 1/4 cup Cous Cous to get the right binding texture.Because I used only a 1/2 egg I probably put in the generous half in the mixture. I put these meatballs on a burger bun and they were wonderful served with small green salad and sauted mushrooms. I think ground chicken would also be great for this recipe . Thanks Dorothy for yet another keeper
