Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.

  2. Cook the freekeh as per packet instructions.

  3. Place the diced peppers onto a non-stick baking tray and into the oven until lightly charred, roughly 8mins.

  4. Add all the prepared vegetables and coriander to a large salad bowl and mix well.

  5. Using your hands, mix all the spices, salt, and pepper into the turkey mince.

  6. Flatten the mince, around 2cm thick, onto a chopping board or large plate and begin to form 12 even pieces.

  7. Add a cube of mozzarella into the centre of each turkey mince piece and begin to form a ball around it with your hands, making sure to cover the mozzarella completely.

  8. Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, over medium/high heat.

  9. Place the meatballs into the pan and fry them on high heat, until golden brown (approximately 8mins). Turn the heat down to low/medium to cook for a further 5mins.

  10. Add the cooled freekeh to the vegetables, dress the salad, and top with hot meatballs.
