Method

Ingredients

1. Heat a non-stick pan with the coconut oil. Brown the beef frikkadels in batches and season with salt – this should take about 5 minutes on each side.

2. For the frikkadel & orzo pasta: Boil the orzo in salted water until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water in the pot. Return to medium heat, then add the cream and stir through. Leave to create a gooey sauce for 5–7 minutes. Add the feta and garnish with basil. Pack the leftovers for lunch!

3. For the frikkadel & mini pitas: Heat the mini pita breads in the microwave for 30 seconds. Fill with the pickled peppers, frikkadels and tzatziki. Pack into lunchboxes.

4. For the frikkadel burgers: Toast the burger buns and smear with a tablespoon of Ottolenghi Roasted Aubergine & Tomato Sauce. Top with Crunchita lettuce, one or two beef frikkadels and some pickled red onion petals. Wrap in paper and pack for lunch with some Woolworths Black & White Sesame Seed Pretzel Thins.

5. For the frikkadel snack box: Pack all snacks into a lunchbox with a protein punch of beef frikkadels!
