Instructions

Chip, Chip, Hooray
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm wide chips (no need to peel).

Trim the baby gem, reserve 2 whole leaves per person, then halve lengthways and thinly slice. Set aside. 

Pop the chips 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, bake on the middle shelf until golden, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Make your Meatballs
2

While the chips are in the oven, in a large bowl, combine the ginger, garlic & lemongrass puree, Thai style spice mix, breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the pork mince.

Season with pepper and mix together with your hands. Roll into evenly-sized balls, 5 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Get in a Pickle
3

Next, trim and peel the carrot. Use the peeler to peel long ribbons down the length of the carrot, stopping at the core.

In another large bowl, combine the rice vinegar, a drizzle of oil, a pinch of salt and the sugar for pickling (see pantry for amount).

Add the carrot ribbons, mix together, then set aside to pickle.

Time to Bake
4

Pop the meatballs onto another large baking tray.

Bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the sriracha and mayonnaise (see pantry for amount). Halve the ciabatta.

Finishing Touches
5

When everything's nearly ready, toast the ciabatta halves in your toaster until golden.

Alternatively, if you don't have a toaster, pop the ciabatta into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.

Once the meatballs have cooked, remove the tray from the oven. Drain and discard the fat, then drizzle over the honey (see pantry for amount). Carefully turn the meatballs to coat them in the glaze.

Stack up and Serve
6

When everything's ready, spread the sriracha mayo over the cut sides of the ciabatta. Squeeze the carrot to remove some of the pickling liquid. Top the bases with the reserved salad leaves and the pickled carrot.

Arrange the meatballs over the carrot, then place the ciabatta lid on top.

Toss the remaining baby gem through the carrot pickling liquid and serve with the chips alongside.
