    1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Place mince, breadcrumbs, egg white, lemon zest and sumac in a large bowl, mixing to combine. Shape mixture into 12 meatballs.

    2 Heat a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Lightly spray meatballs with olive oil and add to pan. Cook, turning frequently, for 2 minutes or until browned all over. Add tomatoes, lentils, spinach and ²⁄³ cup water, gently stirring to combine. Top with feta, transfer pan to oven and bake for 10 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.

    3 Divide meatballs among four serving plates. Top with olives and serve sprinkled with basil.

    HFG tip

    Gluten-free fibre: To get enough fibre if you’ve eliminated gluten from your diet, eat plenty of fresh fruit & vegies (with the skin on) — this recipe has three vegie serves! Fibre is vital for good gut health & reduces your risk of bowel cancer.
