  • 2Place the lamb, remaining oregano and salt, parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg and pepper in a bowl and using your hands, mix to combine.
  • 3Using a tablespoon measure, roll 2 tablespoons of the lamb mixture into balls and place on a tray. You should have approximately 20 balls.
    Tip: The meatballs can be refrigerated at this point if you're not cooking them straight away.
  • 4Insert the oven rack into position 2 Down. Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 425°F, for 30 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
  • 5Place the onion and tomatoes in a large bowl, add the remaining oil and toss to coat.
  • 6Once preheated, place the potatoes in the oven and air fry for 30 minutes. When the oven signals, using a spatula turn the potatoes, add the onion and tomatoes and top with the meatballs. Return to the oven and continue cooking. Meanwhile, prepare the yogurt sauce.
  • 7To make the yogurt sauce, place the yogurt, garlic, salt and mint in a bowl and mix to combine.
  • 8The meatballs should be golden brown and read 160°F when tested with a meat thermometer. If not, press A Bit More.
  • 9Halve the pita to create a handy pocket. Fill with the veggies and golden meatballs, then top with the cucumber and yogurt sauce. Time to dig in!
