Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)
  • 1 medium onion, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground (1 ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander (2 ml)
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground fennel ( 0.5 ml)
  • 4 tablespoons minced parsley (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons minced cilantro (30 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons mint, minced (30 ml)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 pound ground lamb (454 g)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (250 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (5 ml)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Yogurt

  • 1 cup full fat yogurt (250 ml)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, minced (60 ml)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 pieces of pita bread
  • Olive oil, for brushing

Directions

Meatballs

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees for pita bread.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a small sauté pan. Sweat the onion and garlic about 5 minutes until soft but not colored. Add the spices and stir for 1 minute. Put the mixture in a bowl and let cool slightly. Add the remaining ingredients, season and mix well. Form the mixture into 15 patties. Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Pour in enough olive oil so it is 1/4 inch deep. Add half the meatballs and sauté about 8 minutes until browned on each side and cooked through. Remove them to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining meatballs.

Yogurt

  1. Combine yogurt, lemon zest, mint, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside. Brush the pita bread with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy; about 15 minutes.
  2. Serve meatballs with minted yoghurt and toasted pita wedges.
