Ingredients

Broccoli pesto

  • 1 broccoli head cut in smaller pieces
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • juice from 1 ½ lemon
  • 1 bundle of basil
  • 50 g salty peanuts
  • 65 g parmesan cheese
  • 125 g olive oil organic
  • 1.5 tsp salt

Pickled Fennel

  • 1 large fennel
  • 75 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Meatballs

  • 400 g beef minced organic
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 12 tsp salt
  • pepper

Beetroot crust

  • 600 g beetroot peeled
  • 1 onion
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp psyllium husk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • pepper

Topping

  • Basil leaves
  • 100 g creamy goat cheese

Instructions

  • Start by making the pesto. Add all the ingredients to a food processor and pulse for a couple of minutes until you have a creamy but still coarse pesto. Season to taste and pour into a cleaned airtight jar.
  • Use a mandolin or a food processor to slice the fennel very thin. Mix vinegar salt and honey in a large bowl and fold the fennel into it, let it soak.
  • Now it is time for the beetroot crust, again add all the ingredients to the food processor and pulse until you have a creamy paste. Spread the paste out into a lined baking sheet. Bake in the oven at 200 ºC for 25 min.
  • Use a fork to mix the minced meat with mustard, egg, salt and pepper. Heat a skillet, add a little butter/oil and use your hands to form small tsp sized meatballs, fry them up for around 5 minutes until they are juicy and golden.
  • Remove the crust from the oven, and make sure it slips the baking sheet. Spread out a couple of tbsp. pesto, add meatballs, fresh basil, goats cheese and a handful lightly squeezed pickled fennel. Serve straight away.
