Instructions

Get prepped
1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Slice the pita pockets (see ingredients list) into 2cm squares. Finely chop the garlic (see ingredients list). Pick and finely chop the parsley leaves. Finely chop 1/2 the baby spinach leaves (keep the remaining leaves whole). Finely chop the cucumber and tomato.

Bake the pita
2

Spread the pita squares over the oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat, arrange in a single layer and bake for 5 minutes, or until golden and crispy. TIP: Baking the pita squares in a single layer ensures they get crisp and cook evenly.

Make the meatballs
3

While the pita squares are baking, combine the beef mince, egg, fine breadcrumbs, rustic herb spice blend, the salt, garlic, parsley and chopped baby spinach in a medium bowl. Crumble in the fetta and mix well. Using a spoon, form the beef mixture into large meatballs and then flatten slightly to form 2cm thick rissoles. You should get 3-4 rissoles per person.

COOK THE RISSOLES
4

Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the rissoles and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.

Make the greek pita salad
5

While the rissoles are cooking, combine the vinegar and olive oil (2 tsp for 2 people / 1 tbs for 4 people) in a medium bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix well. Add the cucumber, tomato, remaining baby spinach and the pita squares and toss to combine. TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves and pita bread crisp.

Serve up
6

Divide the speedy beef spinach and fetta rissoles and pita bread garden salad between plates. Serve with a dollop of dill & parsley mayonnaise.
