Submitted by mschwer2

Makes 4 servings


From a lebanese restaraunt

Ingredients
1 lb lamb, lean ground
1 cup quinoa, cooked
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1/8 tsp allspice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup minced fresh coriander or parsley
1/2 cup onion, minced
1/2 cup chili pepper, de-seeded and minced
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup fresh mint, minced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine the lamb, quinoa, cumin, coriander, allspice, zest, parsley, onion, chile pepper and salt. Mix to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 8.

  2. Remove your meat mixture from the fridge and using your hands, form into football shaped meatballs.

  3. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mint, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Set aside.

  4. Preheat your oven to 200F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.

  5. In a large sauté pan, heat at least ½ inch of oil. Do not add too many at a time, as this will lower the temperature of the oil. Turn a few times, browning on all sides.

  6. As they are done, put them on the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.

  7. Serve with pita bread, the yogurt sauce, and whatever else tickles your fancy.
