- 450g Greek lamb mince
- 1 tablespoon oil
SALAD
- ½ telegraph cucumber
- 1 tomato
- 1 capsicum
- ½ iceberg lettuce
- Juice of ½ lemon
TO SERVE
- 5 Lebanese flatbreads
- 1 cup natural yoghurt
- 2 tablespoons sliced mint leaves
- ½ red onion

Steps
-
oven to 220°C (to warm flatbreads). Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium (if using).

Using a tablespoon measure and clean, damp hands, roll 2 tablespoons of Greek lamb mince into balls. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large fry-pan (with a lid) on low-medium heat. Cook meatballs for 10–12 minutes, with the lid on, until golden brown and cooked through, turning often. Set aside, covered with foil, to rest for a few minutes. While lamb meatballs are cooking, prepare the rest of the meal.

Dice cucumber 1–2cm; dice tomatoes 1cm; remove core and seeds from capsicum and slice thinly; finely shred lettuce. Place all in a medium bowl and set aside.
-
In a small bowl, combine yoghurt and sliced mint leaves. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Finely slice red onion (if using). Toss all salad ingredients with lemon juice and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil just before serving.
-
spread a little mint yoghurt along breads and top with salad and 2–3 lamb meatballs. Garnish with red onion (if using) and a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce or tomato relish (if using) and a little more mint yoghurt (if desired). Roll up and enjoy!
