Ostrich frikkadel traybake

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. In a large roasting tray, combine the chickpeas, pickled peppers, sundried tomatoes, red onion, garlic and olives. Season with za’atar, paprika, olive oil and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Nestle the ostrich frikkadels on top of the chickpea mixture. Roast for 35–40 minutes or until the meatballs are golden and cooked through, and the vegetables are lightly caramelised.
4. While the traybake cooks, whisk together the yoghurt, tahini, lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth.
5. To serve, spoon the tahini yoghurt over the meatballs and drizzle generously with Woolworths Fresh Basil Pesto Mayonnaise. Garnish with torn basil and chopped parsley.
Cook’s note: Serve with warm flatbreads, lemon wedges or quinoa for a complete meal. Leftovers are delicious cold the next day too!
