  1. GET THAT AUB IN THE OVEN

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the Aubergine chunks and unpeeled garlic clove on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and spread out evenly. Roast in the hot oven for 35-40 minutes, shifting halfway.

  2. TOAST THE SEEDS & DO A LITTLE PREP

    Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until they begin to pop and turn brown. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. Dice half of the peeled Onion and set aside in a bowl. Slice the remainder and place in a separate bowl with the drained Chickpeas and rinsed baby tomatoes. Coat in oil, a third of the za’atar spice, and some seasoning. Set aside.

  3. AT THE HALFWAY MARK…

    Remove the Aubergine from the oven, give it a shift, and sprinkle over another third of the za'atar spice. Scatter over the chickpeas, onion, and tomatoes, and return to the oven for the remaining cooking time. On completion, the chickpeas should be crispy and the veg should be cooked through and caramelised.

  4. MEATBALL MADNESS

    Add the mince to the bowl of diced Onion. Combine with half of the chopped mint, the Lamb Rub to taste, and a generous amount of seasoning to taste. Roll into 4-5 meatballs and place on a lightly greased baking tray. Sprinkle over the remaining za’atar spice and pop in the oven for 8-10 minutes until cooked through and glossy.

  5. ALMOST THERE

    When the roast is ready, discard the skin from the Garlic and mix the flesh with the hummus (to taste). Add warm water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Toss the rinsed rocket with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning.

  6. MEZZE DELIGHT!

    Load up with roast veg and cover with the juicy meatballs. Drizzle over the Hummus dressing and side with some peppery rocket. Garnish with the toasted pumpkin seeds and the remaining chopped mint. Go on, Chef – devour!
