How To Make Middle-Eastern Meatballs

Ingredients

* 1 3/4 pounds ground beef
* 1 onion, finely chopped
* 1/4 cup raisins
* 2 eggs
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1 slice bread, diced (or bread crumbs)
* 1 tablespoon cinnamon

* 3/4 cup oil for frying
* 1 onion, finely chopped
* 1/2 cup raisins
* 3/4 cup water
* 2 tablespoons honey

* 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
* 1 tablespoon cardamom
* 2 teaspoons cumin

Mix ground beef, onion, raisins, eggs, bread, and cinnamon. Form into balls. Heat oil, onion, raisins, water, and honey in a frying pan; fry meatballs in this mixture (covered) on medium heat until brown. Sprinkle on spices and flip meatballs. (Add more of these spices if desired.) Let simmer on low heat. Great by themselves or with a little shredded mozzarella.
