Instructions

In a large bowl add ground lamb, crumbled feta cheese, minced shallots, semolina, minced parsley, cumin, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and beaten egg.
Using your hands, work the mixture until it's completely combined.
Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
After an hour, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat liner or parchment paper.
Roll lamb mixture into 1-1/2 inch-sized balls and lay them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 20 minutes until the meatballs are slightly crispy on the outside and no longer pink on the inside.
Serve with tzatziki sauce.
