  1. OLIVE YOU

    Place the drained feta, the chopped olives, and ½ the rub in a bowl. Mix until the feta becomes a paste-like consistency. In a separate bowl, combine the mince, the remaining rub, and a crack of pepper. Divide the mince mixture into 3 portions. Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mince from sticking to them. Using the palm of your hand, gently flatten a portion of the mince and place some of the feta and olive paste in the center. Gently press the mince around the filling, fully enclosing it. Gently roll it in your hands to create a smooth meatball, being careful to not push the filling out! Repeat with the remaining portions of mince and the feta paste. Set aside in the fridge until frying.

  2. BUTTER BEAN IS ON THE SCENE

    Place a pot over a medium-high heat with the rinsed beans and 1 tbsp of milk or water. Once boiling, remove from the heat and stir in a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter and some seasoning. Place in a blender or mash with a fork or potato masher until the desired consistency. If it’s too thick add a splash of water or milk. Cover to keep warm.

  3. IT’S FINALLY FRY-DAY

    Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pepper pieces for 3-5 minutes until charred but still crunchy. Remove from the pan and place in a bowl. Add the rinsed green leaves, the tomato wedges, ½ the pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Toss until combined.

  4. GOLDEN & GORGEOUS

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the stuffed meatballs for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the heat and rest for 2 minutes before serving.

  5. YUM!

    Make a bed of the butter bean mash. Top with the juicy stuffed meatballs. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and the remaining seeds. Side with the colourful salad. It’s a Chef’s life and we’re loving it!
