This Yemeni Jewish recipe represents an ancient tradition of Jewish life in Yemen. The flavors should be familiar to most Jews. These meatballs go well with "Seasoned Soup with Bread" recipe, also found here at JRT. Note: If you can't find Zhug at your grocery store, you can make the spice mixture yourself.
