Preparing In The Kitchen
Preheat the oven to 180 ºC and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Wash the parsley, shake dry, pluck the leaves and finely chop.
In a medium bowl, mix the lamb, onion, garlic, lemon zest, parsley, cumin, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix it all well to combine.
Coat your hands with a bit of olive oil and roll the meat into 2 tablespoon size balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the meatballs are crisp or cooked through on the inside.
To prepare the red pesto, place all the ingredients into a food processor (do not toss the oil from sun dried tomatoes, place it also in the food processor). Blitz until you get the desired consistency. Adjust the taste if needed.
In the meantime, prepare the orzo as per package instructions. Set aside to cool down. Then mix the orzo with the red pesto.
For the tzatziki, peel and crush the garlic clove. Wash the dill, shake dry, pluck the leaves, and chop finely. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
Wash the cherry tomatoes, pat dry and halve them. Peel the avocado, remove the pit and cut into wedges. Wash the salad and spin dry.
Add the mixed green salad and top with red pesto orzo. Arrange the lamb meatballs, tomatoes, olives and avocado and finish with a spoon of tzatziki.
