  • 100g green beans
  • 3 tomatoes
  • ¼ red onion (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons roughly chopped parsley leaves and stalks
  • 2 teaspoons vinegar (e.g. red wine, white wine, balsamic)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps

  1. oven to 220oC. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium-high (if using).
  2. Toss potatoes on first prepared tray with lamb spice and a drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper and bake for 25–27 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Turn once during cooking.
  3. While potatoes cook, trim ends from beans and cut into 1cm lengths. Place in a small, heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with a plate and leave for 2–3 minutes, until bright green and tender. Drain, rinse under cold water and then drain again.
  4. Dice tomatoes 2cm and finely slice second measure of red onion (if using). Mix all tomato salad ingredients together and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  5. Combine all lamb rissole ingredients in a large bowl. Use a ¼ cup measure and clean hands to scoop out mixture to form balls, pressing down on top to form 2–3cm-thick rissoles.
  6. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook rissoles, in batches, for 2–3 minutes each side, until browned. Transfer to second prepared tray and cook (on rack below wedges) for 8–10 minutes, until cooked through.
  7. divide wedges and lamb and cheese rissoles between plates. Top rissoles with tomato salad. Serve with your favourite BBQ sauce (if desired).
