Turkish meatballs

Method

1. Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Cook the onion in olive oil over a medium heat in a casserole (with a tight-fitting lid) for 10 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the baharat and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer half the onion to a large mixing bowl to cool and put the other half on a plate.
2. Add the cinnamon, chopped parsley stalks and lamb to the onion in the mixing bowl, then season. Using your hands, mix together. Divide the mixture into 12 evenly sized balls. Heat another splash of oil in the casserole and fry the meatballs for 5-6 minutes until browned all over (you may need to do this in batches). Remove with a slotted spoon.
3. Return the onion to the casserole, then add the passata, stock and harissa with a little extra seasoning. Heat until just bubbling. Add the meatballs, stir to coat, then cover and transfer to the oven to cook for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
