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 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 generously with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.
- Meanwhile, Trim baby broccoli.
- In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add baby broccoli and cook until tender, 5-6 minutes.
- Transfer to serving plates, season and cover to keep warm.
TIP: Add a dash of water to the pan to help speed up the cooking process.
- While veggies are cooking, in a medium 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.
- In a large frying pan, 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.
- Divide mash and savoury beef meatballs between plates with baby broccoli. Spoon over sauce from pan.
