1 pound ground lamb
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup minced shallots
3 tablespoons semolina or bread crumbs
3 tablespoons minced parsley
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

After an hour, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat liner or parchment paper.
Roll lamb mixture into 1-1/2 inch-sized balls and lay them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 20 minutes until the meatballs are slightly crispy on the outside and no longer pink on the inside.
Serve with tzatziki sauce.
