1 Tip the mince, sumac, cumin, garlic and lemon zest into a bowl, season and combine using your hands. Form into 10 small balls, about 30g each. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and fry the balls for 8-10 mins, shaking the pan now and then until browned and cooked. Or if using an air fryer, heat to 180C, brush the meatballs with oil and bake for 10-12 mins, turning halfway through.
2 Combine the cabbage, mint, onion, cucumber and pomegranate seeds with the lemon juice. Season. Stuff the slaw and meatballs into the pittas and serve with the yogurt.
