• Finely chop garlic.

of olive oil over medium heat.
• Cook garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add
basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of
salt, stir, then bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
• Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and
keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is
absorbed, 10 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don’t
peek!

In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, mediterranean spice blend, fine breadcrumbs, the egg and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.

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

• Stir baby spinach leaves through garlic rice
until combined.
• Divide spinach rice between bowls.
