Spice dusted lamb, Indian potato cake, pea herb dressing tomato jam and Quinoa Feta balls

This beautiful dish currently features on the Summer menu at Church Road Winery Restaurant, Taradale, Napier, and was created by our Executive Chef, Jenny Parton.

The Quinoa feta balls are a delightful accompaniment to the dish.  The crispiness of the quinoa and the soft “melt in your mouth” texture of the feta is a pleasure on the palate.

Quinoa Feta balls are a perfect accompaniment to your Antipasto platter, a tomato and basil salad, a cheeseboard or  a beef or lamb dish.  Try out this simple recipe, and wow your guests at your next dinner party!

6 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 tsp Rosemary
150g Feta
1/2 cup quinoa

Cook black quinoa.  Dry off and fry in deep fryer or a pot of hot oil with a metal sieve until popped.

Whip feta with a fork, mix with crushed garlic and rosemary. Chill down.  Roll into balls and before placing on your plate,  coat in crispy black quinoa.

Enjoy!
