Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
In a bowl, combine the mince, yolk, stuffing, ginger and garlic paste and 1 tsp oregano. Season well and roll into 20 balls.
Heat the oil in an oven-proof frying pan (If you don't have an oven-proof frying pan, transfer the meatballs to a baking dish before cooking in the oven.) Cook the meatballs over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until browned all over.
Add the cinnamon, allspice, remaining oregano, aubergine, tomatoes and other Mediterranean vegetables; season and simmer for 5 minutes. Scatter over the potatoes and feta. Bake for 40-45 mins, until golden. Serve with rocket, if you like.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

Once the dish has cooled completely, transfer it to an airtight, freezer-safe container, seal and freeze for up to 1-3 months. To serve, defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight before reheating. To re-heat: Loosely cover with foil and bake until dish is thoroughly heated through. Re-heat until piping hot.
