Instructions

  • Preheat the airfryer to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs, mix together using your hands. Roll the beef mixture into even sized balls the size of a walnut. Working in batches, cook the meatballs in the airfryer basket in a single layer for 8-10 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • In the meantime, add the tomatoes to a large bowl with the salt and stir through the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the tzatziki sauce, place the grated cucumber into a medium bowl with the salt. Set aside for 2 minutes, then drain off any excess water. Mix in the remaining ingredients, then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • When the meatballs have finished cooking, assemble the plates. Divide the meatballs equally and serve with a portion of the tomato salad, tzatziki and toasted pita bread.
