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 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.

• In a large frying pan, heat a generous 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). • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until lightly golden, 4-6 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add passata, the water and chicken-style stock powder. Gently stir to combine and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine the rocket leaves, a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. • Divide potato mash between plates. Top with garlicky beef and bacon meatballs. Serve with zucchini and balsamic rocket salad. Enjoy!
