When you choose a UCOOK recipe for dinner, you don’t have to choose between meatballs or schawarma for dinner. You can have both, Chef! Browned meatballs are stuffed into toasted pita pockets, lined with creamy tzatziki, and stuffed fresh greens, pickled onion & dollops of Mrs Balls Chutney. Served with a quick-pickle cucumber & carrot mix, elevated with coriander.

In a bowl, combine the vinegar with a sweetener (to taste). Add the carrot, Cucumber, and coriander, toss to combine, and season.
