very good. i liked the hint of spices in these. only thing i would change would be the salt. i wish that i had not put any in. it was a little on the salty side for me, and i LOVE salty foods. but i may have mixed up the teaspoon and tbsp measure perhaps. i will also add some black pepper and maybe a little minced garlic next time. we served it with mint/cucumber yogurt sauce. i will probably do them again for our Super Bowl party coming soon.

These bad boys are FANTASTIC! I used bread crumbs instead of semolina.

I haven't made this yet but it looked amazing on tv, anyways I was wondering if anyone had bought Nigella's Feast and whether they had tried this recipe with the couscous? I was thinking of trying it with vegi ground round, any thoughts?

I made this recipe today with my children and we all loved it! The only thing I changed was the semolina. My daughter is allergic to gluten so we subbed 1 Tbs arrowroot powder and they turned out wonderfully!

made this for family one weekend they loved it , we ate them in pita grilled with olive oil; stuffed with diced tomato, thin pieces of lettuce, red onion, feta, and Nigella's Cacik, a Turkish tsatsiki sauce, from "Forever Summer" cookbook and some baba ghanoush; one side note, for less fat mold the meat mixture into fat cigars, skewer lengh wise ; bamboo skewers, etc. and bake or grill. (oven 375 for 10-15mins, grill , turn frequently needs about 3-4mins per side.

The lamb meatballs were so flavorful and delicious! It took a couple minutes of experimenting for me to get the oil temperature just right since I do not usually fry. The trick was to get the oil hot enough to crisp but not so hot that the outside crisped and burned before the inside cooked (my first meatball was raw inside.

They turned out moist on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside. Also, the flavors come out more when they have slightly cooled, rather than eating them piping hot.

A HUGE hit at a recent party.

I made them for a supperclub gathering, they were a huge hit. I did the lamb and also with ground turkey for my pickier guests. (mixed white & dark meat and it was great!
From my 1 lb. of meat i got about 73 meat balls. loved the quick cooking time and everyone loved the tiny size.

I made these true to the recipe, except that I also used ground beef instead of lamb. I cooked them in two batches- the first were teeny tiny, as presented on the show, and I found them too chewy with the beef. The second batch was GREAT!!! (Probably about twice as big as presented. The flavor is so good. I'm going to keep looking at the store for ground lamb, which I will make into the tiny size. All in all, these are easy and delicious- I keep eating them cold out of the fridge like Nigella does at the end of the show! :
