Ingredients

LEMON PEPPER KUMARA CHIPS

  • 600g orange kumara, scrubbed and cut into 1cm-thick chips
  • 1 teaspoon lemon pepper (optional, adults)

CHICKEN MEATLOAVES

  • 450g chicken mince
  • ½-1 brown onion, finely diced until you have ½ cup worth
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 courgette, grated
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley leaves and stalks
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup grated Colby cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

TOPPING

  • 2 tablespoons wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Colby cheese

TOMONNAISE

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon tomato sauce

TO SERVE

  • ½ telegraph cucumber

Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Grease a 12-hole muffin tin (alternatively, line a second oven tray with baking paper).
  2. Toss kumara on prepared tray with a drizzle of oil and lemon pepper (if using). Season with salt and bake for 20-25 minutes, until tender. Turn once to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a large bowl combine all chicken meatloaf ingredients, season with pepper and mix well. Divide mixture into muffin tins (alternatively, scoop ½ cup measures of mixture and roll into balls then place on second prepared tray).
  4. Use a teaspoon to spread a little mustard, then tomato sauce, over the top of each meatloaf. Sprinkle over second measures of breadcrumbs and grated cheese. Cook (on oven rack above kumara) for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through. Turn oven to high grill and grill for about 2-3 minutes, until tops are golden.
  5. In a small bowl mix tomonnaise ingredients together. Cut cucumber in half lengthways then thinly slice. Add to a medium bowl and season to taste.
  6. place mini chicken meatloaves and lemon pepper kumara chips onto plates. Serve sliced cucumber and a dollop of tomonnaise on the side.
