Sunset reader Michael Furukawa, of Menlo Park, California, gave us this recipe—he suggests also trying it with ground chicken. His version resulted in long sausage-shaped kebabs, but we opted for meatballs—they're easier to handle and don't take long to cook.
How to Make It
Preheat broiler. Gently mix meat, lemon zest and juice, seasonings, onion, garlic, and bread crumbs in a medium bowl just until combined.
Form meat mixture into 18 balls (about 2 in. each) and slide 3 onto each of 6 metal skewers. Put on a baking sheet and brush with oil.
Broil, turning once, until browned and done the way you like, 10 minutes for medium. Serve meatballs with hummus, pita, and green salad.
*Find ground sumac, made from tart red edible sumac berries, in the spice aisle of well-stocked grocery stores.
