Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Place the pita bread or tortilla on a baking tray. Spray with olive oil spray. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake, turning occasionally, for 5 mins or until golden brown and crisp. Set aside to cool. Break into pieces.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Cook the meatballs, turning, for 8-10 mins or until cooked through. Add balsamic glaze. Cook, tossing, for 1 min or until caramelised.
Step 3
While the meatballs are cooking, cook the broad beans in a saucepan of boiling water for 2 mins or until heated through. Refresh under cold water. Drain well. Peel and place in a bowl. Add the lentils, artichoke, mint, oil, lemon zest and lemon juice. Toss to combine.
Step 4
Divide the salad among serving plates. Top with meatballs and sprinkle with fetta and bread pieces.
