Preparation steps
1.
For the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 190°C (170° fan) | 375F | gas 5. Mix together the beef mince, gram flour, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and seasoning in a mixing bowl.
2.
Shape into meatballs and arrange spaced apart on a tray. Cover and chill.
3.
For the buckwheat and vegetables: Place the buckwheat in a large saucepan and cook over a medium heat for 2 minutes until dried out. Add the stock, stir well, and heat until simmering. Cover with a lid and cook over a slightly reduced heat for 10 - 15 minutes until the buckwheat is tender.
4.
Toss together the vegetables with the oil and plenty of seasoning. Drain the buckwheat if necessary and spoon into the base of a baking dish. Top with the vegetables and then the meatballs.
5.
Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until the vegetables are roasted and the meatballs are cooked through. Leave to stand briefly before serving with a garnish of feta and mint leaves.
