Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground lamb

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  3. Shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
