Serves 6
Prep and cook time – 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 500g lean, minced lamb
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled into 1cm pieces
- 1-2 slices of wheat-free bread (blitzed in a processor to breadcrumbs)
- 2 spring onions (green tops only), finely chopped
- 2 tbsns garlic-infused olive oil
- ½ tspn ground cinnamon
- ½ tspn sumac
- ½ tspn garlic replacement (optional)
- 10g fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh coriander and sliced red chillies, for garnish
- Lime wedges, to serve
Method
Firstly, preheat the oven to 200°C (380°F). Put the mince, feta, breadcrumbs, spring onion tops, herbs and spices and seasoning in a large mixing bowl. Mix well and form them into 4cm diameter balls. This should make around 18 meatballs.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs and fry for around 5-6 minutes, turning them occasionally to brown them on all sides. Transfer them onto a lined roasting tray and bake in the oven for a further 5 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
Add some fresh coriander and red chillies for garnish and squeeze a little lime juice over the meatballs for that extra zing. Serve with pitta, salad or rice. Enjoy….
