Ingredients

1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 small onion, very finely diced
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Kosher salt
1 pound ground lamb
1 large egg
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
4 plum tomatoes, cored
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch cinnamon
Kosher salt
4 pieces naan (Indian flatbread)
1 cup crumbled feta
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 cup torn cilantro and parsley leaves
Red pepper flakes, for sprinkling, optional

Steps:

For the meatballs: Preheat a grill to medium.
Combine the breadcrumbs and onions in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the milk on top; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt; mix until combined. Add the lamb and egg; mix until very well blended. Mix in the cilantro and parsley. Form into 20 balls, a little larger than 1 inch.
Add the meatballs to the grill basket; grill, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
For the tomato sauce: Add the tomatoes to the grill basket; grill, turning occasionally, until charred all over in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; remove the peels when cool enough to handle. Crush the tomatoes with your hands, then stir in the olive oil, cinnamon and a large pinch of salt.
For the flatbreads: Reduce the grill to medium low. Grill the naan, top-side down, until grill marks appear, about 4 minutes. Flip and top with the tomato sauce, meatballs and feta; drizzle generously with olive oil. Cover and grill until the naan are slightly crisped and the feta has warmed through, rotating the naan 45 degrees halfway through, about 6 minutes.
Transfer to plates, top with the cilantro and parsley, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using.

MEATBALL FLATBREAD

As amazing as this flatbread is, you would never guess how unbelievably easy it is to make. And hiding veggies in the sauce is a clever trick, especially if you have kids. For a crunchy crust, bake the naan in the oven until slightly crispy on top before adding the tomato sauce. -Kimberly Berg, North Street, Michigan
