Caribbean Pork Meatballs & Quinoa-Millet Bowl
with Coriander Yoghurt & Charred Pineapple Salsa
Approved by our dietitians and taste testers, this bowl is bursting with goodness and flavour - from the meatballs laced with our capsicum-y Caribbean seasoning, to the fluffy quinoa and millet (which are actually both seeds that cook, look and taste a lot like grains). Add the finishing touches with a refreshing and creamy coriander yoghurt, and a tropical salsa, complete with cucumber for crunch.

Instructions
• Boil the kettle. Thinly slice red onion. Finely chop garlic. Rinse quinoa & millet blend using a sieve. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring regularly, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add quinoa & millet and a pinch of salt. Half-fill the saucepan with the boiled water. Stir to combine. Cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12-15 minutes. • Drain, then return to saucepan.
TIP: Rinsing the quinoa and millet helps remove any bitter flavour!
• While the quinoa & millet is cooking, drain pineapple slices. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot until softened, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to a high heat. Cook pineapple slices until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes each side. Transfer to a chopping board to cool slightly. • Roughly chop cucumber, baby spinach leaves and coriander.
• In a medium bowl, combine pork mince, mild Caribbean jerk seasoning, the egg, fine breadcrumbs and remaining garlic. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of the 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. • Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).
• Meanwhile, combine Greek-style yoghurt and coriander in a small bowl. Set aside. • Roughly chop charred pineapple. In a second medium bowl, combine pineapple, cucumber and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. Set aside. • Stir carrot through quinoa & millet. Season to taste.
• Divide quinoa-millet mixture between bowls. Top with Caribbean pork meatballs. • Serve with charred pineapple salsa and coriander yoghurt. Enjoy!
