Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Place potato fries on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake fries until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine beef mince, garlic & herb seasoning, fine breadcrumbs, the egg and a pinch of salt. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a baking dish.
Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs!
• To the baking dish with meatballs, drizzle with olive oil and turn to coat. • Bake until browned, 15-20 minutes.
• Remove baking dish from oven and add tomato sugo, the brown sugar, the butter, garlic paste and a splash of water. • Gently turn meatballs to coat, then bake until sauce is slightly thickened, a further 8-10 minutes.
• When meatballs have 5 minutes remaining, slice hot dog buns in half lengthways, three quarters of the way through and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes. • Meanwhile, thinly slice pear. • In a medium bowl, combine pear, spinach & rocket mix and a drizzle of the balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
• Divide Italian meatballs between the buns. • Spoon over the remaining sugo and top with Parmesan cheese. • Serve with fries, mayonnaise, salad and any remaining meatballs. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
