When you think of leek it’s of cosy nights, but let’s spice things up and give this creamy leek sauce a kick of pepper. Coat pork rissoles in the sauce and suddenly your roast veggies and rissoles have been transformed into the new hot topic at dinner.
1
carrot
1
parsnip
2
potato
1
leek
½ sachet
black peppercorns
1 sachet
Aussie Spice Blend
1 packet
pork mince
1 sachet
Garlic & Herb Seasoning
1 packet
fine breadcrumbs
(Contains: Gluten(Wheat); )
½ packet
cream
(Contains: Milk; )
1 bag
parsley
olive oil
1
egg
(Contains: Eggs; )

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot, parsnip and potato into bite-sized chunks. Thinly slice white and light green parts of leek. • Lightly crush black peppercorns (see ingredients) in a mortar and pestle, or in their sachet using a rolling pin.

• Place carrot, parsnip and potato over two lined oven trays. • Sprinkle over Aussie spice blend, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out evenly and roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
Little cooks: Kids can help toss the veggies.

• In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, garlic & herb seasoning, fine breadcrumbs and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of pork mixture into meatballs, then flatten to make 2cm-thick rissoles (3-4 per person).

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook rissoles in batches, until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. • Transfer rissoles to a plate and cover to keep warm.

• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook leek, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • SPICY! Peppercorns can be spicy, use less if you're sensitive to heat! Add peppercorns and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium-low, then add cream (see ingredients) and stir until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Season generously with salt.

• Divide pork rissoles and roasted veggies between plates. • Spoon peppercorn-leek sauce over rissoles. Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
