Tag the person you’re cooking for this Father’s Day weekend. Is it your dad, grandfather, uncle, family friend, or maybe it is a person who taught you what family means.
Sharing our recipe from Hummus & Co cookbook for spinach and veal meatballs. Serve in the pot, with steamed rice and everyone at the table. However you’re celebrating, we hope it’s full of food and the people you love.
Spinach and veal meatballs
Serves 4
2 large bunches English spinach (about 800g), trimmed
500 g veal mince
2 eggs
80 g dry breadcrumbs
140 ml olive oil
1 tablespoon dried mint (optional)
1 large brown onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon chili flakes
400 g tin diced tomatoes
500 ml good quality beef stock
Salt and pepper to taste
1 large handful coriander, coarsely chopped
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Fill a large bowl with ice and water. Add half the spinach to the boiling water and cook for 30 seconds, then transfer to a bowl of iced water. Repeat with the remaining spinach.
Drain the spinach and squeeze out all the liquid with your hands. Finely chop the spinach then put it in a large bowl with the veal mince, eggs, breadcrumbs and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the mint, if using, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until well combined. Oil your hands and roll the veal mixture into balls about 55 g each, similar to the size of a golf ball.
Heat the remaining oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, until light golden brown (do not cook through as they will finish cooking in the sauce). Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the onion and garlic to the pan and sweat for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and chili flakes and cook for another minute. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and carefully add the meatballs. Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, stir in the chopped coriander.

Ever wondered what makes our falafel so good?
It’s the mix. Chickpeas + broad beans for texture, fresh coriander, parsley & chilli for flavour, garlic and onion for depth, sesame seeds for crunch.
Made fresh every day, fried only when ordered. That’s the Kepos difference.
Have you tried them?
Kepos Street Kitchen is now on TikTok so you can follow us over there as well. Thanks AerinP for our new content.

Straight from the pages of Salata cookbook.
This week’s cookbook feature: Charred Broccolini, Hazelnuts & Crispy Dill. Serves 6, ready in under an hour, and worth every step. Melted butter, crushed toasted hazelnuts, and broccolini charred till smoky. Proof that veg can absolutely be the main event.
Full recipe below.
If you live in Sydney near a Harris Farm (definitely not sponsored), broccolini is $2.50 a bunch!
Charred broccolini, hazelnuts, crispy dill
Serves 6
Charring the broccolini adds a smoky flavour to this salad. This method is great with other vegetables such as corn, capsicums and tomatoes, adding a complexity to any salad.
½ bunch dill, leaves only
3 bunches broccolini, leaves trimmed, woody bottoms trimmed
75ml hazelnut oil
25g melted butter
100g hazelnuts, toasted, peeled and crushed
2 egg yolks
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 150°C fan forced.
Place dill on a tray lined with baking paper and cook for 1 hour or until dill is crispy but not burnt.
Blanch broccolini in salted boiling water for 30 seconds and then drain. Season with hazelnut oil and salt and pepper.
Heat a barbeque or grill plate to high and then char the broccolini until coloured, approximately 3 minutes each side.
Transfer the charred broccolini to a mixing bowl, add the melted butter and toss with the hazelnuts. Place the broccolini and hazelnuts onto a platter, add the egg yolks and top with the crispy dill leaves.

And we can’t get enough of it. You may not see any Eastern Rosellas in Redfern but you will definitely find plenty of colour on your breakfast or lunch plate at Kepos Street Kitchen every single day.
