Ingredients
- 300 g True Aussie lamb mince
- ¼ cup herb and garlic tomato paste

Method
Instructions
1.Combine the lamb mince, tomato paste and spice mix. Shape the mixture into small meatballs – about 2tsp of mixture for each. Add enough oil to a medium-sized, heavy based frypan to come one-third of the way up the side of the pan. Heat the oil over a moderately high heat. Cook the meatballs in 2 batches until golden and cooked through. Drain on absorbent paper. Allow the oil to reheat between batches.
2.Brush each cutlet lightly with oil. Preheat the char-grill pan to hot before adding the cutlets.Cook cutlets on one side until the first sign of moisture appears on the top. Turn and cook further until done to your preference. Turn once only. Remove cutlets from heat, loosely cover with foil and rest cutlets for 2 minutes before serving.
3.Serve the meatballs and cutlets on a platter with the hummus, vegetable sticks, tomatoes, wedges of lettuce, rice crackers and lemon.
Tips: Meatballs and burgers should always be thoroughly cooked. They should not be served rare or pink. A good guide is to insert a skewer into the thickest part; if it is ready to eat the juices will be clear.
