Ingredients

Calorie controlled cooking spray

8 spray(s)

Onion

1 medium, finely diced

Garlic

1 clove(s), crushed

White bread, sliced

1 slice(s), medium, stale, crusts removed

Extra lean pork mince (5% fat), raw

500 g

Egg yolk, raw

1 medium, beaten

0% fat natural Greek yogurt

100 g

Harissa paste

¾ teaspoon(s)

Lime Juice, Fresh

1 teaspoon(s)

Wholemeal Pitta Bread

4 medium

Rocket

80 g

Cherry Tomatoes

8 individual, quartered

Red onion

½ small, finely sliced

Instructions

  1. Mist a large nonstick frying pan with cooking spray and fry the onions for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for a further minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside to cool.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Soak the bread in cold water for 30 seconds, then squeeze well to remove excess water and crumble it into a large bowl. Add the pork mince, egg yolks and cooled onion mixture. Mix with clean hands until combined. Season well and shape into 16 meatballs, each slightly smaller than a golf ball.
  3. Put the meatballs on a baking tray, mist all over with cooking spray and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, make the harissa yogurt. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with the harissa, lime juice and a small pinch of salt.
  5. Warm the pittas in the oven for the final 2 minutes of the meatballs’ cooking time. To serve, split the pittas and divide the rocket, cherry tomatoes and red onion between them. Put 4 meatballs into each pitta and spoon over the harissa yogurt.
