This is a longer recipe but very easy once in the oven. Make the meatballs beforehand to save time on the night.

Ingredients

Beef Meatballs

  • 1 apple
  • 1 brown onion
  • 600g beef mince
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup fine breadcrumbs
  • 2 Tbsp Moroccan spice mix
  • 1 tsp salt

Kumara

  • 800g baby kumara
  • 1 courgette

  • 1 carrot
  • ½ Tbsp Moroccan spice mix
  • ½ bag baby spinach leaves

Hummus

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a large, heavy roasting tray or baking dish with a lip and preheat in oven. Grate apple and finely dice onion. Add to a large bowl with all remaining beef meatball ingredients and mix well to combine. With damp hands, roll into golf ball-sized balls.
