Freekeh becomes irresistible when there’s a zap of lemon tossed through. It also goes nicely with plump pork meatballs to create a hearty meal in a bowl. These meatballs have a few tricks of their own like being seasoned with herbs and drizzled in a sweetened honey yoghurt. There’s something new in every bite.

Cooking Steps

• Finely chop garlic. Rinse the freekeh. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast freekeh, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with water, then add a good pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer freekeh, uncovered, until tender, 30-35 minutes. Drain and rinse freekeh, then set aside. • Return pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add freekeh, a pinch of salt and stir to combine.

TIP: The freekeh is cooked when it has softened but still retains some bite.

• Meanwhile, cut broccoli (see ingredients) into small florets. Slice carrot into half-moons. Zest lemon to get a pinch and slice into wedges. • In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, herb & mushroom seasoning, the remaining garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of pork mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook broccoli and carrot until tender, 6-7 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a generous drizzle of olive oil. • Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

• In a small bowl, combine Greek-style yoghurt, the honey and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste and set aside. • Meanwhile, add baby spinach leaves, lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil to saucepan with freekeh. Stir to combine and season to taste.

• Divide zesty freekeh between bowls. Top with herby pork meatballs and veggies. • Drizzle over honey yoghurt. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
