Kefta-Style Meatballs With Grilled Grapes And Yogurt Sauce

• Meatballs
• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1 small red onion, grated
• 1/2 cup chopped mint
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 bunch small seedless grapes, red or green
• Yogurt Sauce
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup chopped mint
• 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
• 1 minced garlic clove
• salt and pepper to taste

1. For the yogurt sauce: Mix all ingredients. It's best when made at least 30 minutes ahead of time, to allow flavors to meld.
2. In a large bowl combine the first 9 ingredients in the meatball list. Don't over-mix.
3. Heat a frying pan with some vegetable oil and toss the grapes, lightly browning on all sides, remove and set aside.
4. Shape meat mixture into small meatballs, fry in the pan, adding more oil if needed to make sure they don't stick. The heat should be fairly high to ensure a good sear. Toss or turn to make sure all sides brown. Drain on some paper towel, allowing to rest for a few minutes.
5. Assemble on large cocktail toothpicks: grape first, then meatball on the bottom. Serve with yogurt sauce for dipping.
