Kofka Meatballs with Spinach Dip

Kofka is often made on a skewer, but I find it easier to make it into meatballs. 

1  1/4 lbs ground beef
1/2 onion, finely chopped
4-5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp tomato paste
3 tbsps parsley
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp freshly ground coriander seeds
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
ground pepper to taste
pinch of cayenne
1/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 egg

Mix all ingredients together and form into balls this size and put them on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

Bake 375 F for 25 minutes.

It goes well with Rice Salad Middle Eastern-style

You can serve it with your favourite tzatziki or this spinach dip recipe from Knorr.
