Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp Rapeseed Oil
  • 1 small red cabbage
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp coarse mustard (15 g)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • a handful parsley
  • 500 g poultry mince
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp whole grain breadcrumbs (15 g)
  • 50 g almonds
  • 30 g parmesan (30% fat in the cheese)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Brush a baking sheet with 1 tbsp oil. Clean, wash, and cut the cabbage into strips; place on the sheet. Peel the garlic, crush it, then mix with mustard, honey, lemon juice, and 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper, spread over the cabbage, and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (fan 160 °C; gas 2–3) for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Meanwhile wash the parsley, dry it, strip the leaves, chop about one‑third, then mix with the mince, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Form roughly 16 balls, brush with 1 tbsp oil, and finely chop the almonds.

  3. 3.

    Remove the dish briefly from the oven. Sprinkle 2 tbsp almonds over the meatballs between the cabbage, return to the oven, and bake for another ~15 minutes until golden brown.

  4. 4.

    Grate the parmesan. Blend the remaining almonds with the leftover parsley, remaining oil, and parmesan. Season the pesto with salt and drizzle over the cabbage and meatballs.
