This protein and carbohydrate rich dish is perfect for after exercise to help your body recover before the next workout.
- Lamb mince is a great, affordable way to serve up a lamb dish for the whole family and it’s packed with flavour.
- Always defrost mince in the fridge – only use the microwave if you plan to cook it immediately.
- Don’t worry if you don’t have all the spices – as long as you get the cumin and coriander in there you’ll have a nice flavour. To really bring out the flavour, dry toast the cumin seeds in a pan over a medium heat for a couple of minutes until aromatic.
- You can try squeezing the mince mixture around skewers and barbecuing them for an extra smoky summer flavour.
- If you don’t have couscous, you can use the same amount of breadcrumbs soaked in milk for the meatballs.
- To make a feta and olive crush, combine 1/2 cup finely chopped olives with 1/2 cup of crumbled feta and a squeeze of lemon juice. It’s tangy and delicious and brings out the flavours of the meatballs.
- You can reduce the sodium and fat content of this dish by reducing the amount of mayonnaise used.

Meatballs
Place all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl with some cracked pepper. Using clean hands, mix until well combined. Roll into walnut-sized balls.Heat a little oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add half the meatballs, cook for a couple of minutes then turn gently using tongs, being careful not to break them up. Cook for another 7-10 minutes, turning to brown all over until cooked through. Transfer to a warmed plate, cover with foil and repeat with the remaining meatballs.
Yoghurt sauce
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix to combine. Taste and season as required.To serve
Spread some hummus on a pre-warmed wrap, pita or flatbread. Top with meatballs, salad, the yoghurt sauce and the feta and olive crush if using (see Tips & Tricks below).
