Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons coriander seeds
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 20 grams fresh mint, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, juice only
- 500 grams lamb mince
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil

Method
-
On your stovetop place a heavy based saucepan on medium to high heat.
-
Add the spices to the pan and toast for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
-
Remove from heat and crush using a pestle and mortar or pulse in a blender enjoying the aromas whilst placing to one side.
-
In a large bowl add the water, garlic, crushed spices, egg, lemon juice and mint and mix well.
-
Add the lamb mince and massage into the mix until well combined - You can use gloves to mix this in, otherwise a fork can do the job just as well.
-
Roll and shape into 16 meatballs (if time permits, chill for 15-20 minutes).
-
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick saucepan on medium heat.
-
Sauté the meatballs until golden brown and cooked (around 8 to 10 minutes), turning them every so often.
Inspiration
- To complete your spicy meatballs experience with a favorite dipping sauce, try serving with Harissa paste for a little more heat, or a delightful Beetroot dip or Hummus dip.
- Can mix up the spices and herbs by replacing some with fresh finely chopped rosemary, oregano and parsley.
- You can also try some lemon or lime zest in there as well to give it another flare.
