Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Thinly slice the spring onions. Finely chop the coriander. Remove half the mint leaves from their stalks and finely chop. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Cut the broccoli into thirds. Deseed the peppers and cut into 2cm squares.
  2. Cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes and place in a saucepan. Cover with salted boiling water and simmer for 15-18 mins, until softened, then drain.
  3. Make the kibbeh; add half the spring onions and half the chopped herbs to a bowl along with the beef and spice paste. Mix thoroughly, then form into 12 teardrop-shaped meatballs. Heat a medium, non-stick frying pan with 1 tsp oil on a medium-high heat. Add the kibbeh and cook for 10 mins, turning regularly, until golden and cooked through.
  4. Meanwhile, place the peppers and broccoli onto a lined baking tray; roast for 10 mins. While they are roasting, thinly slice the cucumber into half-moons. Halve the tomatoes.
  5. Make the hummus; return the potatoes to the saucepan. Add the garlic, tahini and the remaining chopped herbs. Squeeze in the juice from 1 lime. Season with sea salt and black pepper, mash, then cover to keep warm.
  6. Serve the sweet potato hummus topped with broccoli and peppers. Place the kibbeh, cucumber, tomatoes and spring onions over the top. Garnish with the remaining mint, almonds and remaining lime, cut into wedges.
