Place on nonstick cookie sheet and bake 10 - 12 minutes or until juice runs clear.

Combine yogurt, cucumber, dill, coriander, cumin, salt, lemon juice and garlic in a food processor. We did this recipe without a food processor and it turned out great.
Dip meatballs into sauce and enjoy as an appetizer or dinner with a Greek salad.
