Instructions

Roast the Potatoes
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Get Prepped
2

Meanwhile, halve the baby plum tomatoes. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve, peel and chop the red onion into 2cm chunks.
When the potatoes are halfway through cooking, add the onion to the tray and sprinkle over the dried oregano.
Toss to coat, then roast in your oven for the remaining time.

Make your Koftas
3

In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic, baharat spice, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see ingredients for both amounts), then add the lamb mince.
Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.
Shape into mini sausage shapes, 3 per person. Flatten to make koftas. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Fry Time
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the koftas to the pan and fry until browned all over and cooked through, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The koftas are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Transfer the koftas to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Drain the fat from the pan.
Add the fig jam and half the balsamic vinegar to the pan. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat, adding a splash of water if it's a little thick.

Dress the Salad
5

When everything's nearly ready, in a small bowl, mix together the olive oil for the dressing (see ingredients for amount), remaining balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt.
Add the tomatoes and rocket to the dressing and toss well to dress.

Serve
6

When you're ready to serve, plate up your koftas with the roasted potatoes and salad alongside.
Spoon the balsamic fig sauce over the koftas to finish. Enjoy!
