Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tablespoons dried breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon cumin ground
  • ½ teaspoon paprika sweet
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb yogurt full-fat
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 mint small bunch
  • 3 scallions
  • sea salt fine
  • black pepper fine

Instructions

  1. Meatballs: Chop the onion and the garlic cloves very finely. Mix with the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, mustard, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Form about 14-16 little rolls.
  2. Cook: Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and fry the meat rolls in two batches. Turn repeatedly so that they get brown on all sides and are cooked through. It took me about 7 to 8 minutes to have one batch ready. Remove all the meat rolls from the pan and keep them warm.
  3. Yogurt sauce: Stir together the yogurt and the cornstarch. Finely chop the mint leaves. Place the yogurt mixture and the mint in the pan and heat gently. Adjust the taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Serve the meat rolls with the sauce sprinkled with chopped scallions and more sweet paprika.
