Ingredients
- 800g minced meat (pork, beef, lamb, combination of whatever!)
- 2 eggs
- 1 can of whole pitted black olives
- 100g of feta cheese
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 red onion
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- bunch of cherry tomatoes
- pinch of sea salt and black pepper
Directions
-
Stick the onion, black olives and garlic in the food processor and whizz them ’round to chop.
-
Add in your herbs, salt and pepper and eggs.
-
Pour all this into a big bowl and mix it up with the minced meat until well combined.
-
This is where things get fiddly.
-
Cut your cherry tomatoes in half and scrap out using your thumb or finger nails the inside bit. Don’t waste that bit – just stick the seeds and insides in with the minced meat filling.
-
Cut the feta into tiny pieces and stick an itty bitty block inside each cherry tomato half.
-
Spoon (or scoop with your hands – whatever!) the meat mixture into silicone muffin cups. Now, I had these small (probably for little biscuits or chocolates) ones and some heart shaped ones, I used both. The small ones I scooped the meat into and then pressed the cherry tomato halves on top. In the heart shaped ones, which were bigger, I put the cherry tomato halves in halfway and then covered them with meat.
-
Cook for about half an hour in the oven. Your time might vary – my oven is a bit… unpredictable.
-
These actually taste even nicer once they’ve cooled. So good to keep in the fridge for snacking on!
