Cooking Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. To prepare the ingredients, peel the pumpkin and carrots. Cut the pumpkin into 2 cm pieces, the carrots into 1 cm thick slices, and the lemon into wedges. Wash the baby spinach leaves.

2

Toss the pumpkin and carrot in the olive oil and place in a single layer on a paper lined oven tray. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 30 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a large bowl or pot and mash with a potato masher until the desired consistency is reached (we like ours a little rustic and chunky).

3

Meanwhile, roll the gourmet lamb meatball mince into meatballs (you should get four per person) and set aside on a plate.

4

Heat a dash of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning, for 7-8 minutes or until browned. Remove the meatballs from the pan. Add the baby spinach leaves to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes or until just wilted. Add the meatballs back to the pan to heat through.

5

To serve divide the carrot and pumpkin mash between plates. Top with the meatballs and spinach. Serve with the lemon wedges.
