Ingredients

4 servings

1 large egg
3 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground allspice
¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro ((optional))
1¼ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1¼ lbs 85% lean ground beef
1/3 cup panko
½ cucumber, (peeled, halved lengthwise, seeded and finely diced)
1 cup plain low-fat or whole milk Greek yogurt ((do not use non-fat))
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, (from one lemon)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 500°F/260°C).
Mix together the egg, garlic, cumin, allspice, cilantro, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the ground beef and panko and mix with your hands until well combined.
Using a &frac13; cup measure, form 8 disc-shaped meatballs. (They will dome slightly on the grill, forming nicely rounded meatballs.)
Lightly dip a wad of paper towels in vegetable oil and, using tongs, carefully rub over the grates several times until glossy and coated. Grill the meatballs, covered, for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned on the exterior and no longer pink in the center. Transfer the meatballs to a serving plate and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve with the yogurt sauce and couscous, if desired.
Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
