Preparation
1. Prepare a baking sheet with foil and parchment paper. With gloved hands, mix all the meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Roll the meatballs into golf ball size balls and place on prepared pan. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Brown meatballs on all sides. While meatballs are browning, place a new sheet of parchment on the prepared pan. Once the meatballs are browned placed on the prepared sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, so that meatballs are fully cooked inside.
3. To make the tahini sauce, mix the tahini, lemon juice sea salt & sumac. Add water until desired consistency is achieved.
4. To make the sandwich place lettuce on the bottom portion of the submarine roll. Then add a bit of tahini sauce, then meatballs and more tahini sauce. Top with cilantro and a sprinkle of sumac.
