1/2 cup chopped mint
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 minced garlic cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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.
