Merguez, Feta and Red Pepper Meatball Stuffed Pittas

Ingredients

  • 2 (275g) packs merguez sausages

  • 2 roasted red peppers from a jar, 1 finely chopped, 1 finely sliced

  • 100g feta, crumbled

  • 20g flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

  • 20g mint, finely chopped

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 8 white pittas, lightly toasted

  • 8 large handfuls salad, such as rocket and baby leaf

  • 230g tub tzatziki

  • 3 tbsp pickled red onions

  • 2 lemons, cut into wedges

Directions

  • Step 1

    Squeeze the sausage meat out of the casings and mix with the chopped pepper, feta, parsley and mint.

  • Step 2

    Roll into balls, about 2tsp of the mix each (you’ll have around 32 meatballs in total); chill until needed.

  • Step 3

    Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 8-10 mins, turning occasionally, until golden all over and cooked through. Drain on a plate lined with kitchen towel.

  • Step 4

    Serve the warm meatballs with the pittas, sliced peppers, salad, tzatziki and pickled red onions for everyone to assemble as they like, with lemon wedges for squeezing.
