Step 1

Refrigerate these while making the slaw to help them stay together.

Step 4
Cut the leek into thin strips. Cut the apple into large pieces and drizzle with lemon juice. Cut the radishes into large cubes and coarsely chop the nuts.
Step 5
Combine these cut ingredients into a large bowl. Then add the olive oil, yoghurt, salt, pepper and sage, mixing thoroughly.

Step 8
While the meatballs are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for a minute or so until it softens but doesn’t brown.

Step 10
Remove from the heat and add in meatballs (in batches if need be) to excessively coat.
