Method
step 1
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, then cook the meatballs, shaking the pan from time to time, until browned and cooked through, about 12-15 mins. Drizzle over the honey and shake the pan until well coated.
step 2
Warm the flatbreads or pittas, then spread over the hummus. Arrange the sticky meatballs on top, scatter with pomegranate seeds, mint leaves and sumac, if using. Drizzle over the extra virgin olive oil. Serve with your chosen accompaniments, including lemon wedges for squeezing over.
