Ingredients
  

  • 500g new potatoes cut into quarters
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 200g baby plum or cherry tomatoes halved
  • 200g feta crumbled
  • handful flat-leaf parsley leaves chopped to garnish

For the meatballs:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 200g cooking chorizo skinned and finely chopped
  • 1 small onion grated
  • 400g pork mince
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp sweet smoked pimenton or smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss the potatoes in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Scatter the potatoes over the bottom of a non-stick roasting tin and roast for 20 minutes until starting to brown.
  • Meanwhile, put all the meatball ingredients into a bowl, season, and mix until well combined. If you have a food processor, put all of the meatball ingredients into the bowl and pulse until mixed together and the chorizo has broken down.
  • Shape the mixture into small meatballs (you should be able to make about 24), then add them to the roasting tin. Bake for a further 15 minutes then add the tomatoes and feta. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the tomatoes start to soften and the feta is starting to melt and turn pale golden.
  • Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve with salad...and of course, enjoy!
