Ingredients

750g chicken mince

40g sachet French onion soup mix

1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs

1 free-range egg, lightly whisked

Freshly ground black pepper, to season

1/2 cup chicken stock

700g container apricot halves in juice, with juice reserved

2 Tbsp olive oil, plus extra 1 Tbsp

2 zucchini, cut into large chunks

1 red onion, finely chopped

1 red capsicum, cut into large chunks

1/4 cup apricot jam

1 bunch broccolini, trimmed

Cooked couscous and finely chopped coriander, to serve

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced (200°C conventional). In a bowl combine mince, half of the soup mix, breadcrumbs and egg. Season. Shape into 12 flat rissoles.

In a large jug, combine stock, remaining soup mix and apricot juice.

Heat oil in a large flameproof roasting pan on high. Cook rissoles for 2 minutes on each side, until golden. Remove from heat. Add zucchini, onion, capsicum, stock mixture and half of the apricots to pan. Dollop jam over rissoles.

Roast for 25 minutes. Baste with juices and add broccolini. Drizzle broccolini with extra oil. Roast for a further 10 minutes, until cooked through and sauce is glossy.

Top with remaining apricots. Toss couscous with coriander. Serve chicken and vegies with couscous.
