Method:
- Mix the lamb with the harissa and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Roll into walnut sized balls.

- Mix the cabbage, pomegranate seeds and herbs together and season with salt and pepper. Add the vinegar and some olive oil to taste.
- Serve the meatballs and salad together with some grilled flatbread and Greek yoghurt.
Notes:
- The meatballs can be made and rolled a day ahead and cooked when ready to serve.
- To make lamb kebabs, mould the meat around long skewers and barbeque for a smoky flavour.
