Popeye polpette (spinach quinoa ‘meatballs’)

Would you believe me if I said that my middle name is Popeye? It actually is. I had such wide shoulders when I was born that my parents thought that giving me the name of the spinach-loving sailor, was fitting. Little did they realise how that name would grow to suit me as I became a vegetable advocate and spinach lover (still not entirely there with the tattoo and biceps though).

We often steal a few polpette straight from the baking tray, but they are even better served tangled in linguine or courgette (zucchini) noodles with tomato sauce poured over. - David
