  Wow a great mid-week dinner. Super fast and tasty! I used ground beef instead and left out the parsley. Will def make again and again!

  Very nice meatballs (although mine fell apart slightly). The cumin gives them an authentic Greek flavour.

  I didn't have any lamb mince so destroyed some ready made lamb and mint meatballs, mixed in the feta and reformed them. Enjoyed the Mediterranean flavour, served with toasted pitta bread and hummus. Served leftover chickpea salad cold the next day, still yummy!

  A firm favourite in our house for dinner and left over lunch the next day. We use more feta but only for personal taste. A very quick and tasty mid week meal.

  Nice taste. It is crucial to cut the onion very fine, otherwise the balls will fall apart. I used beef instead of lamb, and I made a different chickpea salad: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1804/warm-chickpea-salad?countView=false
