Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the carrot, zucchini and beetroot into fries. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle over the black sesame seeds and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
TIP: Beetroot stays firm when cooked. It's done when you can pierce it with a fork.
While the fries are baking, zest the lemon to get a generous pinch, then cut into wedges. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a medium bowl, combine the pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, egg, chermoula spice blend, lemon zest and a good pinch of salt. Using damp hands, form heaped spoonfuls of the mixture into oval-shaped rissoles (about 2.5cm-thick). You should get 3-4 per person. Transfer to a plate.
When the fries have 10 minutes remaining, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the rissoles, in batches, until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side.
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
While the rissoles are cooking, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a medium bowl. Season. Add the spinach & rocket mix and cherry tomatoes. Toss to coat.
Divide the chermoula pork rissoles, sesame veggie fries and salad between plates. Serve with the tzatziki and lemon wedges.
