This homemade meatball recipe can serve two purposes. It can be a savory main course or a great meatball appetizer.
It is a very simple recipe to make but quite tasty.
These little meatballs are flavored with some cumin and paprika. I have used regular sweet paprika but you can certainly use either smoked paprika or hot paprika as well. Either one of those spices would add to the flavor of the meatballs really well as well.
