Additional Comments:

Serve with Tzatziki, hummus, lettuce and tomatoes in pita bread.

Use as part of a mezze plate.

Instead of rolling into balls make them like patties and BBQ for vegetarian burgers.

Make balls smaller, place on large plate, drizzle with tzatziki and put a toothpick in each one for entertaining appetizers.
