Salt and freshly ground pepper
1tbls of pepprica 
1 Tbls of cumin seed

Combine all the ingredients of the meatballs in a large mixing bowl and mix them thoroughly. It may be a good idea to put the mixture in the fridge for a while it will help the meat mixture to marinade. Combine the  ingredients for the filling. 
 Mould and pat the meat mixture into flat meatballs, putting some filling in the centre with the help of a spoon. Every now and then wet your fingertips in Some red wine and continue moulding place in meat bolls in a baking tray with some olive oil until golden. Put all the sauce ingredients in a pan and boil for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Drop the meatballs in the sauce and let them cook for 10 minutes. Then put back in a dip baking tray and bake uncovered for 10 min until sauce thickens! Serve them with rice pilaf.
