Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. • Cook garlic and lemon pepper seasoning, 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!
• Meanwhile, slice cucumber into rounds. • Slice tomato into thin wedges.
• In a large bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients), Nan's special seasoning, the egg, and a pinch of salt. • Using damp hands, roll beef mixture into koftas about 8cm long and 2.5cm thick (3 per person).
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook koftas, turning regularly, until browned and cooked through, 10-12 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Remove from heat and add the honey, tossing to coat.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before adding the honey glaze.
• In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomato, spinach and rocket mix, a drizzle of the vinegar and olive oil. Season.
• Divide herby rice, honey beef koftas and cucumber salad between bowls. • Crumble fetta cubes over salad. Top with babaganoush to serve. Enjoy!
