Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Peel potato and cut into bite-size chunks. Trim zucchini into thin batons. Finely chop garlic. • Cook potato in the boiling water over high heat until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. In last 8 minutes of cook time, place a colander or steamer basket on top and add zucchini. Cover and steam until zucchini is tender and potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, 7-8 minutes. • Transfer zucchini to a bowl, season and cover to keep warm. Drain potatoes and return to the pan. Add the butter and mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.

• While veggies are cooking, in a medium bowl, combine beef mince, garlic & herb seasoning, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and the egg. • 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: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs! Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards.
