Instructions
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, Aussie spice blend, fine breadcrumbs and the egg. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). • Transfer meatballs to a medium baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and turn to coat. Bake until browned, 15-20 minutes.
Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs! Make sure to wash your hands well afterwards.
• While the meatballs are baking, slice bake-at-home ciabatta in half lengthways. • In a heatproof bowl, combine 1/2 the butter and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Microwave in 10 second bursts or until melted. Season with salt. • Brush garlic butter over the cut sides of the ciabatta. • Remove meatballs from oven, then add passata, chicken-style stock powder(see ingredients), garlic paste, the brown sugar and remaining butter. • Turn meatballs to coat, then bake until sauce is slightly thickened, a further 8-10 minutes. • Meanwhile, place ciabatta directly on an oven rack and bake until golden, 6-7 minutes.
• While the meatballs are in the oven, roughly chop tomato. Grate carrot. • In a medium bowl. combine mixed salad leaves, tomato, carrot, a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the salad!
• Divide easy baked beef meatballs and garden salad between bowls. • Top meatballs with shaved Parmesan cheese. Serve with toasted ciabatta. Enjoy!
