Ingredients
- (1 tsp) Coriander
- (1/2 tsp) Cinnamon
- (1 1/2 tsp) Cumin
- (1/4 tsp) Allspice
- (1/2 tsp) Smoked paprika
- (2 tsp) Salt
- (1/2 tsp) Black pepper
- (2 lbs) Ground lamb
- (2) Eggs
- (1 1/2 cup) Breadcrumbs
- (1 tbsp) Olive oil
Directions
Line two baking sheets with foil, and place an oven-safe rack (like a cookie cooling rack) on each. Spray lightly with nonstick spray and set aside. Preheat oven to 400° F.
Stir together spices in a small bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to a large bowl with the spice mix. Combine with clean hands, and roll the mixture into small meatballs, about 2-3 tablespoons each in size. Place in rows on the prepared pans.
Bake for 13-18 minutes, until an internal temp of 160° F is reached (for medium done meatballs) or 170° F (for well done meatballs).
Serve the meatballs warm from the oven on wooden skewers.
