Preparing In The Kitchen
Preheat the oven to 200 ºC and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and finely chop the shallot. Peel and squeeze the garlic clove. In a large bowl, mix the chicken, garlic, shallot, oregano, paprika, cumin and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Coat your hands with a bit of oil, roll the meat into rounded tablespoon-size balls (will make 14-15 meatballs). Place on the baking sheet. The mix will be wet, but it will firm up in the oven.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the meatballs are crisp and cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook the orzo with turmeric and lemon zest in plenty of salted water, until al dente. Then pour into a sieve and allow to evaporate.
Wash the cucumber and salad and slice the cucumber in thin slices. Set aside.
To make the sauce, peel and finely grate the garlic. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well. Add 1-2 tablespoons water if needed to thin the sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Wash the parsley, shake dry and chop finely.
To assemble, stuff the golden orzo into the naan wraps and top with lettuce, chicken meatballs and cucumber slices. Drizzle with sauce and chopped parsley.
