Place the mince in a bowl with the breadcrumbs, egg, herbs, chilli, garlic and salt & pepper. Using your clean hands, mix really well until all the ingredients are thouroghly combined and the mixture is slightly sticky. Form into small meat balls about 3-4 cm across. Pour a little olive oil into a heavy bottomed frying pan, fry the meatballs on a medium heat for around 5 minutes turning regularly until browned and cooked through. Just before serving, warm the flat breads through to soften them. Spread each one with
a tablespoon of hummus, and then layer up the roasted vegetables, and meatballs and finish with a few salad leaves. Wrap and serve immediately.
Tip: This dish is perfect the cook outside. Just cook the vegetables and the meatballs on your BBQ.
