"A nice combination of flavours, and a little different. I made these half size and served them as an appetizer with a tart cranberry dip. From local newspaper. "

Great recipe - just enough spice to make them interesting. I cut the recipe in half with no problem - I did add 1 tbsp over the 1/4 cup Cous Cous to get the right binding texture. Because I used only a 1/2 egg I probably put in the generous half in the mixture. I put these meatballs on a burger bun and they were wonderful served with small green salad and sauted mushrooms. I think ground chicken would also be great for this recipe . Thanks Derf for yet another keeper
