• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into fries, then place on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
Little cooks: Help out by tossing the fries with the olive oil and salt.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice onion and pear (see ingredients).
Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer!
• In large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, the brown sugar and a splash of water, then mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. • Transfer to a small bowl.
• When the fries have 5 minutes remaining, combine Italian herbs, a good pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil in medium bowl. Add beef strips, tossing to coat. • Wash and dry the frying pan, then return to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • When oil is hot, cook beef strips in batches until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Little cooks: Help toss the beef in the seasoning. Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards!
• Meanwhile, place wholemeal panini directly on a wire rack in the oven. • Bake until heated through, 5 minutes.
• Slice each panini in half, then spread with creamy pesto dressing. • Top with beef, caramelised onion, pear and spinach & rocket mix. • Serve with fries. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Take the lead and help build the paninis!
