For extra flavor, try soaking the golden raisins in warm water or a splash of rum for 15 minutes before adding them to the mixture. If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried cilantro. But fresh is recommended. These meatballs are delicious served with a dollop of extra yogurt or a drizzle of tahini sauce. The bread helps to keep the meatballs moist, but you can substitute with breadcrumbs. If using breadcrumbs, you may need to add a bit more yogurt to maintain moisture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the ground lamb, torn bread, yogurt, golden raisins, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender. (10 minutes)
03
StepUsing your hands or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. Place the meatballs on a lightly greased baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. (10 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are nicely browned on the outside and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. The internal temperature should reach 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). (25 minutes)
05
StepLet the meatballs cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra fresh cilantro, if desired.
