CRISPINESS & SOFTNESS
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the drained chickpeas on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, season, and spread out in a single layer. Roast in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes. Place the shredded kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Using your hands, massage until softened and coated. Set aside for step 3.
GET THE PREP GOING
Place the vinegar in a salad bowl with 2 tsp of olive oil and some seasoning. Whisk until emulsified. Toss through the halved baby tomatoes and set aside to marinate. Loosen the hummus with milk or water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season to taste and set aside for serving.
TIME FOR THE KALE TO SHINE
When the chickpeas have 8-10 minutes to go, give them a shift and scatter over the kale. Return to the oven for the remaining roasting time. On completion, the kale and chickpeas should be crispy.
MEATBALL MAGIC
Place the mince in a bowl and combine with the Italian Rub and a drizzle of oil. Mix in the diced onion (to your taste preference) until well combined. Roll into 4-5 meatballs and spread out on a lightly greased baking tray. Pop in the oven for 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through, shifting halfway. Remove from the oven on completion and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
LOAD UP YOUR WARM SALAD
Place the couscous and stock in a bowl and submerge in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 5-6 minutes until cooked and tender. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with the fork. Add in the crispy kale, ¾ of the chopped parsley, the marinated tomatoes, and the tomato marinade to taste. Toss to combine and season to taste. (If you have any remaining onion, toss it through as well if you’d like!)
OH, WHAT A BREEZE!
