    285g minced beef
    1 onion, finely chopped
    2 eggs
    1 tbs fresh dill, finely chopped
    1 1/3 cup almond meal
    1 tsp salt
    Dash pepper
    Instructions
    Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius, fanforced.
    In a bowl, mix all ingredients together
    until well combined.
    Roll zucchini mixture into 4cm balls and
    place on an oven proof tray lined with
    baking paper.
    Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until browned
    and cooked.

    *Sesame Seed Crackers
    Ingredients
    1/3 cup almond meal
    1/3cup sesame seeds
    1 tsp olive oil
    1 egg white
    Good dash salt and pepper
    Instructions
    Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius,
    fan-forced.
    Place all ingredients in a bowl and
    combine well.
    Place mixture on a sheet of baking
    paper, and place another sheet of
    baking paper over the top. Roll
    mixture out into a 3-4mm thickness
    using a rolling pin.
    Score pastry with the back of a knife
    into individual square pieces.
    Carefully remove baking paper from
    the top of pastry, then holding the
    baking paper on the bottom of the
    pastry mix, move onto an oven proof
    baking tray.
    Place in oven for 15-20 minutes, or
    until slightly browned. Leave to cool

    *Roast Pumpkin ‘Hummus’
    Ingredients
    1 cup pumpkin, diced
    1 tbs olive oil

    1 tbs lemon juice
    1 tbs olive oil
    1 tsp cumin, ground
    Dash nutmeg
    Salt and Pepper
    Instructions
    (I used canned pumpkin and bypassed all the cooking. I just combined everything into a food processor and was good to go.)
    Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees Celsius, fanforced.
    In an oven proof dish, place diced pumpkin
    and 1tbs olive oil. Bake in oven for 40-60
    minutes, or until cooked. Leave to cool.
    Place pumpkin in a food processor, along
    with remaining ingredients. Blend on high
    speed until a soft creamy texture is formed.
