I was kind of hesitant to use mayo in the meatballs but it definitely made them nice & moist. I did reduce the mayo & lemon juice by half since I was leery. I also had some grated onion to the mix since I had some that needed to be used. Made for Ramadan Tag 2011

Prepared this using fresh local free range ground chicken, parsley from the herb garden and homemade baharat. I found brown rice crackers at the natural food store and used my own ground brown rice flour to coat the meatballs. The meat was moist due to the mayonnaise and our toddler daughter came back for thirds! Served over a bed of barley, yellow squash from the garden and a salad with #430054 . Meatballs form into balls best if the mixture is well chilled first which I prepared early in the morning. Reviewed for Ramadan Tag.

Sometimes you find a recipe that is as enjoyable to make as it is to eat and this is one of those recipes! The aroma of the parsley, lemon, and all the spices in the baharat is just wonderful and is noticed while you make the meatballs and while they are cooking. I used your suggestion of recipe #79179 as a base for the spices that I added. These turned out moist and delicious - thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is so easy to make! I did add a small finely diced onion but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I have made this prior to making your Saudi chicken Kofta which includes this recipe. Thanks so much for posting.

This is pretty good. I made it into long finger and skewered and grilled them. They were so good!!! I was surprised to see that they were moist and cooked well all the way threw. thank you for a wonderful recipe.
