Ingredients:
Meatballs
- 450 g of minced lamb
- 0.5 tbsp. breadcrumbs
- Half a small onion, finely diced
- 3 tbsp. milk
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
- Special equipment: grill basket
Tomato sauce
- 4 plum tomatoes, cores removed
- 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
- A pinch of cinnamon
Flatbreads
- 4 naan (Indian flatbread)
- 1 cup crumbled feta
- Olive oil to drizzle
- 0.5 cup torn cilantro and parsley leaves
- Red pepper flakes, for sprinkling (optional)
Preparation:
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Meatballs:
In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the onion and pour in the milk; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt; mix until smooth. Add the ground lamb and egg; mix thoroughly. Stir in the cilantro and parsley. Form the mixture into 20 balls, approximately 3 cm in size.
- Place the meatballs in a grill basket and cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Tomato sauce:
Place the tomatoes in a grill basket and cook, turning occasionally, until charred, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and peel off the skins when cool enough to handle. Rub the tomatoes together with your hands, then add olive oil, cinnamon, and a generous pinch of salt.
- Flatbreads:
Reduce grill heat to medium-low. Grill the flatbreads until grill marks appear, about 4 minutes. Flip and top with tomato sauce, meatballs, and crumbled feta; drizzle generously with olive oil. Cover and grill until the flatbreads are lightly crisp and the feta is heated through, about 6 minutes. Rotate the flatbreads 45 degrees halfway through.
- Divide the flatbreads among plates and sprinkle with cilantro, parsley, and red pepper flakes, if using.
