Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Place peeled pumpkin pieces on a lined oven tray and sprinkle over 1/2 the garlic & herb seasoning. • Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

Little cooks: Help with sprinkling over the seasoning and tossing the pumpkin.

• While the pumpkin is roasting, finely chop garlic. Roughly chop tomato and cucumber. • In a small bowl, combine cherry sauce, the balsamic vinegar and a splash of water.

Little cooks: Take charge by combining the sauces!

• In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, garlic, remaining garlic & herb seasoning and a generous pinch of salt. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mixture into meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.

Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs!

• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Remove pan from heat, then add the cherry sauce mixture, tossing the meatballs to coat.

TIP: Add a splash more water if the glaze looks too thick.
