Very good. The sauce lightens the weight of the meatballs and accentuates the flavors.

Steps

30 mins

1

Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat (about 500°F).
2

Mix together the egg, garlic, cumin, allspice, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
3

Add the ground beef and panko and mix with your hands until well combined.
4

Coat your grill grates with the oil.
5

Using 1/3 cup to measure, form 8 disc-shaped meatballs. (They will dome slightly on the grill, forming nicely founded meatballs.)
6

Grill the meatballs, covered, for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned on the exterior and no longer pink in the center.
7

Transfer the meatballs to a serving plate and let rest for 3 minutes.
8

For the yogurt sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
9

Serve the meatballs on top of couscous or a flavor-infused rice and topped with the sauce.
