This was delicious! Although I did change things a bit. Could not find tabil locally so made up my own mix, which may be totally off (I welcome anyones comments who knows the exact proportions!: 3/8 tsp corriander (whole then ground, 3/8 tsp carraway (whole then ground, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp cayenne. Just browned the meatballs then let if finish cooking in the sauce instead of deep frying. Also had a bunch of leftover floret bits so dredged those in the egg and panko'd and quick fried with some salt and pepper for a nice quick crispy garnish for the top. Given the spice profile i served this over brown rice, but I think it would have paired equally nice with quinoa or cous cous.

Amazing! I am Italian and I am sorry to admit that these were better than my own meatballs. Something happens in the mix of these spices and transcends regular meatballs.

Despite my enthusiasm for Melissa's winning the competition, I've only seen this episode of the show. But I have made these meatballs several times. I've fried them, grilled them outside and baked them--all very successfully. They are so yummy!

I had friends over for dinner last night, and I decided to try this one out. It was simply a hit, I added some mushrooms to the sauce and stock instead of water, and added more spices to meat (I used beef but less cinnamon (it is not my favorite. The frying process takes time, but overall it is super easy. I am definitely making this again... Thank you!!
