Instructions

  1. In a small food processor bowl, combine feta, 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil, mint, lemon zest and juice and ½ teaspoon (2 ml) minced garlic. Pulse until creamy and smooth, season with ground black pepper. Set aside. Also be made in a bowl, using a spatula to cream feta mixture until smooth.

  2. In a bowl, combine lamb, onion, Patak’s Tandoori Curry Paste, remaining 1½ teaspoons (7.5 ml) garlic, and salt and mix thoroughly. Form mixture into 12 meatballs and slightly flatten tops until about ¾ inch (2 cm) high.

  3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs until golden brown on bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip meatballs over and cook until no longer pink inside, about 3 more minutes. Set aside.

  4. To assemble, spread Patak’s Garlic and Coriander Naan Bread with feta mixture and top with meatballs, tomato slices and matchstick cucumbers.
