  • 1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  3. Using your hands, form about 10 to 12 balls of the preparation. Place the meatballs as you go on a plate.
  4. Heat the soft butter and olive oil in a casserole dish. Place the meatballs in it and cook over medium heat, turning regularly, until cooked through and at least 160°F (71°C) in the center; allow about 15 minutes or longer for large meatballs.
