Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs until evenly mixed. Shape meat into 2-inch meatballs. You can place meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet if desired so they can easily be moved from one work surface to another.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and once hot, add meatballs. Leave an inch in between meatballs while cooking--you may need to cook them in two batches. Roll meatballs around with a fork until each side is browned. Remove meatballs from pan and place on a cooling rack lined with paper towels to remove grease. Drain cooking grease from skillet.
3. Place meatballs back in skillet and add the tomato curry sauce ingredients. Turn heat to low and cook meatballs in the sauce for 30 minutes, or until meatballs are no longer pink in the middle. Meatballs should be covered at least halfway with sauce while cooking; if more liquid is needed, add additional vegetable broth
4. Preheat oven broiler. Place meatballs and tomato sauce in a small casserole dish and top with feta cheese. Place dish under broiler and allow cheese to brown slightly.
