For the meatballs:

  • 2 lbs. (900g) lean ground beef (5% fat)

  • 1 onion, grated

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp ground pepper

  • 2 tsp. ground cumin

  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

  • 2 tsp. dried oregano

  • ½ cup (8g) parsley, minced

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup (60g) panko breadcrumbs

Tomato salad:

Method

  • Preheat the airfryer to 375°F (190°C).

  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs, mix together using your hands. Roll the beef mixture into even-sized balls the size of a walnut. Working in batches, cook the meatballs in the airfryer basket in a single layer for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through.

  • In the meantime, add the tomatoes to a large bowl and stir through the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

  • For the tzatziki sauce, place the grated cucumber into a medium bowl with a sprinkle of salt. Set aside for 2 minutes, then drain off any excess water. Mix in the remaining ingredients, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  • When the meatballs have finished cooking, assemble the plates. Divide the meatballs equally and serve with a portion of the tomato salad, tzatziki and toasted pita bread.
