pita bread

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pita

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and has a neutral flavor.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Get a square bowl for mixing ingredients.

Add 1 teaspoon cumin, 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon, 1.5 teaspoons allspice, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoons nutmeg into the bowl.

Drizzle a trickle of olive oil over the cauliflower and sprinkle with salt and 1 teaspoon of the spice mix.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Place the cauliflower on the tray and stick it in the oven for 15 minutes.

Chop an onion and cloves of garlic and place them in a bowl along with 500 grams of high-fat lamb mints.

Add the remaining spice mix to the lamb mixture.

Shape the lamb mixture into oblong koftas.

Heat a griddle pan until hot.

Remove the cauliflower from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 150 degrees Celsius.

Place the koftas on the griddle pan and cook until browned on each side.

Prepare a salad by combining lettuce, tomatoes, and garlic sauce.

Add toasted almonds, fresh coriander, dill, and half a pomegranate to the salad and mix well.

Serve the koftas with the warm cauliflower salad.
