Spiced Lamb Balls recipe

This recipe comes from Burkina Faso, and is quite subtle, so don't be afraid to add more spice!

Ingredients

• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp chilli flakes / finely chopped fresh chilli
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 900g minced lamb
• 3 large eggs
• 50g breadcrumbs

Directions Add the oil to a large frying pan and fry the onion, cinnamon, garlic, garlic powder, chilli, coriander and salt until the onion is soft and golden brown. Allow to cool then mix with the minced lamb. Add the eggs and breadcrumbs to bind and mix well - watch out, it gets pretty sticky. Form into small meatballs with your hands. Cool for up to 1 hour then fry in oil until browned all over and cooked through. Serve over rice drizzled with Piri-Piri Sauce, or a curry of your choice. It's really easy!
