Heat the oven to 200oC/180oC fan/gas 6. Put the meatballs and sliced onion in a baking dish and drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil, stirring gently to coat everything. Roast for 10-15 minutes until the meatballs are lightly browned then pour in the chopped tomatoes, swilling out the cans with a splash of water and adding this too, then the cinnamon and beans.
Season and add a splash of lemon juice, then stir gently. Crumble over the feta and drizzle over the remaining oil then return to the oven for 30-35 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked and the sauce has reduced. Season and serve scattered with parsley and green salad on the side.
