1 pound ground lamb (or turkey)

1/2 cup golden raisins

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1 large egg, beaten

Scallions (white and light green parts), sliced. Approx ½ bunch.

1 bunch of mint leaves

 

1.    Place an oven rack in the second-highest position and heat broiler 

2.    Combine the lamb, raisins, cinnamon, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, egg, and the scallions in a large bowl (you can add other spices too if you want such as cumin, all spice or a little cayanne)

3.    Shape into golf ball-size meatballs and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil, turning once, until cooked through ( approx 10 min)

4.    Serve with tzatziki sauce, mint leaves and pita bread

I haven't made it yet, but it sounds delicious and I'm trying it tonight!
