PREPARATION IN ADVANCE

Light the charcoal in the Big Green Egg and heat, with the Stainless Steel Grid or the Cast Iron Grid, to a temperature of 200°C.

In the meantime, halve the chilli pepper, remove the stalk and the seeds and finely cut the flesh. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Pluck the leaves from the mint, coriander and parsley and chop finely too.

Place the mince in a bowl and add the freshly cut and chopped ingredients along with the eggs, the smoked paprika powder, the ginger powder and the ground coriander. Grate the lemon zest above the bowl, halve the lemon and squeeze out the juice over it. Add sea salt to taste and thoroughly mix these ingredients. Roll the minced mixture into little meatballs.

For the dip, spoon the yoghurt into a bowl. Peel the garlic and grate the cloves over the yoghurt. Grate the zest from the lemon above the bowl, cut the lemon in half and squeeze out the juice over it. Add sea salt to taste and mix thoroughly.
