👨‍🍳 Method

For the Meatball mix

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Chop the red peppers and the scallions, and dice the lemon.

  3. 3
    Mix the meat with the parsley, cinnamon and salt until evenly combined.

    💡Wet hands don't stick to the mixture, and the patties come out smooth and even.
