From a lebanese restaraunt
| 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 |
- 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.
- Remove your meat mixture from the fridge and using your hands, form into football shaped meatballs.
- In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mint, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 200F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
- 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.
- As they are done, put them on the baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.
- Serve with pita bread, the yogurt sauce, and whatever else tickles your fancy.
