Aromatic Lamb Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground lamb
1/4 cup finely chopped scallion
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons semolina
1 egg
vegetable oil, for frying

Preparation

Put the lamb into a bowl and add the scallions.
Sprinkle over the spices, salt, and semolina.
Beat the egg and add to the bowl.
Work everything together thoroughly with your hands; cover with plastic wrap and leave in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap.
Scoop out a scant teaspoon of the mixture.
Roll in your hands to form the meatball and place on the lined baking sheet.
Have a bowl of cold water beside you to dampen your hands with; this helps them not get too sticky for rolling the meatballs.
When you are ready to cook them, heat about 1/2-inch of oil in a frying pan.
Line another baking sheet with kitchen towel.
When the oil is hot, fry the meatballs in batches without overcrowding the pan.
Cook them for about a minute a side, or until golden brown all over.
