One other thing that makes preparing the dish a lot easier is using a small electric blender. Otherwise chopping everything with a knife can be quite time consuming.
The use of many fresh herbs and a lemon makes it a light meal. Eat it with flat bread or without anything as a side.
Recipe for 3:
400 g beef mince
1 bunch of flat leaf parsley
1 bunch coriander
1/2 bunch mint
5 spring onions
5 cloves of garlic
1 red onion
2 red bell peppers
2 medium tomatoes
80 g frozen peas
80 g green pitted olives
1 lemon
30 g olive oil
1 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp chili
Salt and pepper
Meatballs:
In the blender chop half of the parsley without the stalks (keep them for later) and add the other ingredients and chop again.
Coriander
Red onion
2 spring onions
Cumin
1 tsp paprika
Smoked paprika
Salt and pepper
Mix it by hand with the ground beef and form 1 inch meatballs.
Sauce:
Other half of the parsley without the stems
Mint
Juice of half a lemon
1 tsp Paprika
Chili
Salt and pepper
Oil
All in the blender and mixed as a sauce.
Cut the tomatoes in slices and the paprika in rough chunks. The 3 spring onions in 1 inch pieces and the garlic in slices. Cut the rest of the lemon in slices too.
Lay the stems of the parsley together with the onions and garlic on the bottom of the pan. Next bell peppers, then tomatoes, frozen peas and olives and lemon.
On top the meatballs. Now the sauce.
Close the lid, bring to a boil and reduce the heat and cook for 35 min.
Check if a meatball is done, then serve.
