They are so less calorie-laden than their counterparts that are usually ordered at a pub.

These are called Kafta or Kofta depending where in the Mediterranean you are. They are usually shaped more like a sausages or little footballs. We are putting our own spin on them and making them into round meatballs. These can be served with Tzatziki or Hummus or with a Greek Salad and, or some grains. The Lebanese 7 spice make these taste amazing and so different from a traditional Italian meatball. We even freeze them for meals on nights that we won't have time to make them. They freeze quite well.
