topcook.tomathouse.com

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:

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Divide the flatbreads among plates and sprinkle with cilantro, parsley, and red pepper flakes, if using.
