Toast the fennel seeds in a pan without oil for 2-3 mins until golden and fragrant then remove. Mix the parsley and fennel seeds with the olives and set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, add the spinach and saute for 1-2 mins. Add the nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and roughly chop.

Soak the pita in cold water for 8-10 mins, then drain and knead together with the lamb, 1 egg, spinach, and paprika. Season. Mould the mixture into 12 meatballs. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the meatballs and fry for 10-12 mins, turning. Add the rosemary and fry for 30 seconds. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
