The big question for any home cook is what to make tonight. We go and buy groceries weekly based on market specials and having some variety, then work out a rough menu in advance. Sometimes the weather changes and the dish of the day is not ideal, or sometimes work happens and you have no time. So you adapt.
Meatballs and pitta bread are a favourite, but each of the ingredients can and should be used in other ways. So I will do this in three parts with links. The meatballs are delicious and can be served in many other way, for example as a snack at the Rugby world cup final with my niece Alice and Subz. Ditto pittas. These are easy to make and can be used for a main meal, a snack or a lunchbox. The potential fillings are endless.
I make a rough tzatziki, as I think this was an ubiquitous addition to any meal, like ancient tomato sauce.
