CRUNCHY Chickpeas
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 until crispy and caramel in colour. Place the shredded kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Using your hands, gently massage until softened and coated. Set aside for step 4.
A LITTLE BIT OF PREP
Place the halved baby tomatoes in a bowl with the red wine vinegar and some seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate. Loosen the hummus with milk or water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season and set aside for serving.
GET THE BALL ROLLING
Place the mince in a bowl 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. Bake 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 2-3 minutes before serving.
CRUNCHY Kale
When the Chickpeas reach the halfway mark, give them a shift and scatter over the kale. Return to the oven and cook for the remaining time until crispy.
OH, WHAT A BREEZE!
Boil the kettle. Using a salad bowl, submerge the couscous and stock 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, fluff up with the fork and add in the crispy Kale and three-quarters of the chopped Parsley. Toss through the baby tomatoes and the vinegar (to taste!) until evenly distributed.
