Cooking Steps
Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Peel, then cut kumara into wedges, then place on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle with Aussie spice blend, season with salt, drizzle generously with olive oil and toss to coat. Add a splash of water to the tray and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, garlic, the egg, garlic & herb seasoning and a pinch of salt. Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of pork mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person).
In a large frying pan, heat a 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 the pan from the heat, then add cherry sauce and BBQ sauce and cook, turning the meatballs to coat, 1 minute.
While the meatballs are cooking, thinly slice apple into sticks. Roughly chop salad leaves.
In a large bowl, combine slaw mix, apple, baby spinach, 1/2 the mayonnaise and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
Divide BBQ and cherry-glazed pork meatballs, spiced kumara wedges and creamy apple slaw between plates. Spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over meatballs. Serve with remaining mayo.
