Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add butter (for the mash) and the milk to the potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.
Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice radish. Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice mozzarella (see ingredients). • In a medium bowl, combine beef & pork mince, Aussie spice blend, fine breadcrumbs, the egg and half the garlic. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mince mixture into meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into patties!
• In a large frying pan, heat a 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. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook remaining garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add tinned cherry tomatoes, garlic & herb seasoning, the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and the butter. Stir to combine, then simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. Season to taste. • Return meatballs to the pan, gently stirring to coat. Top with mozzarella and cover with a lid until melted. TIP: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water!
• While the sauce is cooking, in a second medium bowl, combine bacon, radish, deluxe salad mix (see ingredients) and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide potato mash between bowls. Top with saucy beef and pork mozzarella meatballs. • Serve with bacon and radish salad. Enjoy!
