Beef
A fluffy bed of lupin tossed with sultanas and topped with beef meatballs in a hearty Moroccan tomato stew served with greens on the side.
1. Bring 1.5L water to boil in kettle.
Combine mince with 1 tsp Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Roll into 16 even sized balls. Heat frypan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil and brown meatballs 4-5 minutes, turning. Remove to plate and keep pan on heat.
2. Dice onion and carrot. Add to frypan along with 1 tbsp oil and spice mix. Cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
3. Pour in tomato sugo and 1/2 jar of water. Return meatballs to pan and simmer for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
4. Heat frypan over medium-high heat. Trim and halve green beans and broccolini. Add to pan along with 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Set aside.
5. Place lupin, sultanas, crumbled stock cube and 1.5L boiled water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and cook for 3 minutes. Strain, squeeze out excess water using a sieve (see notes). Fluff with a fork. Toss through thyme leaves and 1/2 tbsp olive oil.
6. Divide lupin evenly among plates. Top with meatballs and serve with side of greens.
Notes:
The more water you squeeze out of the lupin, the fluffier it will be. Use the back of a wooden spoon to press it down in the sieve.
Use a good quality stock which is important for flavouring the lupin. Season to taste at the end.
