CRISPY ‘TATERS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the halved baby potatoes on a roasting tray in a single layer. Coat in oil and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, shifting halfway.
PICKLE TIME
In a small bowl, add the pickling liquid, toss through the cucumber half-moons with a pinch of salt and a sweetener of choice. Set aside to pickle for at least 5 minutes.
WHAT A BALL
Place the mince in a bowl, add in the grated garlic, white spring onion slices, poultry rub, ½ the chopped oregano and season. Mix until well combined. Lightly wet your hands, to stop the mixture from sticking to them, and roll into 4-5 meatballs and place on a lightly greased baking tray.
WHIP IT REAL GOOD!
Drain the pickling liquid from the cucumbers and reserve. Blend the hummus with a touch of water or milk until drizzling consistency. If you don’t have a blender, simply whip vigorously using a whisk. Mix in a drizzle of the reserved pickling liquid, season, and refrigerate until serving.
COLOUR EQUALS FLAVOUR
When the potato reaches the halfway mark, place a pan on medium heat and cook the meatballs for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through, shifting halfway. Remove from the pan on completion and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
MEDITERRANEAN TOUCH!
When the potato has 5 minutes remaining, remove from the oven and add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the tray. Toss together with some pickling liquid to taste. Return to the oven and cook for 4-5 minutes until fragrant. In a bowl, toss the rinsed green leaves and pickled cucumber half-moons with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning.
WELCOME TO THE MED
Smear a generous dollop of hummus whip across the side of your plate. Dish up the potato jumble on one side and the salad on the other. Top the pile of potatoes with the meatballs and garnish with the remaining chopped oregano, feta and the green spring onion slices. Time to devour!
