Ingredients:

250g beef mince
1 small brown onion, coarsely grated
22.20 gm tomato paste
35g breadcrumbs
40.00 ml chopped chives
Mignonette lettuce leaves
1 Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced lengthways
12 cherry tomatoes, quartered
Hummus, yoghurt, sweet chilli sauce or tomato sauce, to serve

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, mix together the beef, onion, tomato paste, breadcrumbs, and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the beef mixture into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on a plate. Cover the plate with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
To achieve a perfect sear, preheat a spacious non-stick pan over high heat. Place the meatballs in the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly golden and fully cooked. Once done, set aside to cool.
In an airtight container, layer lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and meatballs. Serve alongside hummus, yogurt, sweet chili, or tomato sauce.
