These juicy lamb meatballs are packed with warming spices and fresh herbs, then served over a cool, creamy tzatziki for the perfect balance of rich and refreshing. Finished with sweet bursts of pomegranate and a drizzle of olive oil, John Gregory Smith’s flavour-packed plate is made for sharing. “This is such a lush summer dish, made extra special with baby cucumbers, which have so much flavour,” says John.
