Cooking Steps
• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Finely chop garlic. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. Cut broccoli into small florets. Thinly slice carrot into sticks. • Combine beef mince, Kiwi spice blend, fine breadcrumbs and the egg in a medium bowl. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mixture into small meatballs. Transfer to a plate (you should get 4-5 meatballs per person).
Little cooks: Help with cracking the egg.
• Add potato to saucepan of boiling water and cook for 15 minutes. • When potato has 7 minutes remaining, place a colander or steamer basket on top of saucepan and add broccoli and carrot. • Cover with a lid and steam until veggies are tender, and potato can be easily pierced witha fork.
• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Transfer to a plate.
• When veggies are done, transfer to a bowl, season to taste and cover to keep warm. • Drain potatoes and return to saucepan. Add the butter (for the mash) and milk, then mash until smooth. Season generously with salt then cover to keep warm.
Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomato sugo, chicken-style stock powder, the water, brown sugar, butter (for the sauce) and cooked meatballs. • Stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Divide potato mash and steamed veggies between plates. • Top with beef meatballs and spoon over remaining sauce. • Garnish with a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) to serve. Enjoy!
