Cooking Steps

Make the mash
1

• 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 the butter and milk to potato and season to taste with salt and pepper. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.


Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes!

Cook the broccoli
2

• Meanwhile, chop broccoli (including stalk!) into small florets.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add broccoli and cook, tossing, until tender, 5-6 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl, season to taste and cover to keep warm.


TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process. 

Prep & cook the meatballs
3

• While veggies are cooking, in a large bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, savoury seasoning, a pinch of salt and the egg.
• Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
• Return frying pan and heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Remove from heat, drain oil, then add tomato sugo, the brown sugar and a splash of water, tossing meatballs to coat

Finish & serve
4

• Divide mashed potato and tomatoey beef meatballs between plates with broccoli trees. Spoon over sauce from pan to serve. Enjoy!


Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by spooning over the sauce!
