Cooking Steps
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
- Chop the potatoes in 2cm chunks.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets (like small trees). Halve any large florets.
- Add the potatoes and cauliflower to the boiling water and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins. Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
- Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or water. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
2
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Trim the carrot, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.
- Trim the courgette and quarter lengthways. Cut each piece widthways into thirds to make batons.
3
- Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the carrot and courgette and fry until tender, 5-6 mins.
- Add half the garlic and fry for 30 secs.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
4
- In a large bowl, combine the mince, half a mustard sachet (per 2P), Central American spice, breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp water (per 2P) and ¼ tsp salt (per 2P).
- Season with pepper and mix together by hand.
- Roll into evenly-sized balls, 3-4 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
5
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the meatballs and fry until browned all over, 5-6 mins.
- Stir in the creme fraiche, parsley and remaining garlic.
- Cover with a lid or foil and simmer until the meatballs are cooked, 6-7 mins. IMPORTANT: Meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
6
- Divide cauliflower mash and veg between plates.
- Top with mustard meatballs.
- Spoon over any sauce remaining in the pan.
