  1. POP IN THE Sweet Potato

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the Sweet Potato chunks on a roasting tray. Coat in seasoning, the reserved sun-dried tomato oil, and an extra drizzle of your own oil. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. READY THE MEATBALLS

    Peel and grate the garlic. Drain and rinse the Lentils. Rinse, pick, and roughly chop the oregano. Place the mince in a bowl with the garlic, the Poultry Rub, the lentils, and three-quarters of the oregano. Mix until well combined and season to taste. Roll into 4-5 meatballs, place on a lightly greased baking tray, and set aside.

  3. WHIP IT REAL GOOD!

    Blend the yoghurt and the drained feta until smooth and thick. If you don’t have a blender, simply whip vigorously using a whisk. Mix in a squeeze of Lemon juice, season to taste, and place in the fridge until serving.

  4. AND THERE’S MORE TO BAKE

    When the Sweet Potato reaches the halfway mark, pop the meatballs in the oven and bake 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.

  5. MEDITERRANEAN FLAVA!

    When the Sweet Potato has 5 minutes remaining, remove from the oven and add the chopped olives and chopped Sun-Dried Tomatoes to the tray. Toss together with some Lemon juice and zest to taste. Return to the oven and cook for 4-5 minutes until fragrant. Toss the rinsed Green Leaves and Cucumber half-moons with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning.

  6. DINNER BLISS

    Smear a generous dollop of feta and yoghurt whip across the side of a plate. Dish up the Sweet Potato jumble on one side and the salad on the other. Top the pile of sweet potato with the meatballs and garnish with the remaining oregano and Lemon zest to taste. Time to devour!
