GOLDEN Butternut
Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Butternut on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
GO FOR GREEK
Dilute the stock and the Tomato paste with 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water. Place the meatballs in an ovenproof dish with the onion, the olives, and the sun-dried tomatoes. Coat in oil and some seasoning. Pour in the tomato stock. Pop in the oven and roast until the meatballs and veggies are cooked and starting to brown, 15-20 minutes (shifting occasionally).
BEAN THERE, DONE THAT
Place a pot over medium-high with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the beans and 5ml [10ml]|#7DA0D7 of milk or water. Once boiling, remove from the heat and stir in a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter and seasoning. Place in a blender or mash with a fork or potato masher until desired consistency. If it’s too thick add a splash of water or milk.
FLAVOURFUL VEG
Once the veggies are cooked, remove from the tray and toss with the Butternut, reserving the meatballs and sauce on the tray.
GREEK FEAST
