• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel potato and cut into large chunks.

Mash until smooth and season to taste. Cover to keep warm.
Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the veggies!
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled!
• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic and chives. Grate the carrot. Roughly chop cucumber.
• In a medium bowl, combine beef & pork mince, fine breadcrumbs, the egg, Aussie spice blend, garlic and a pinch of salt. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mince mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.

• In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • In the last minute of cook time, add BBQ sauce and toss until coated.
• While the meatballs are cooking, combine carrot, cucumber, mixed salad leaves and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. • Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
• Stir chives through mash. • Divide chive mixed veggie mash and garden salad between plates. • Top with BBQ beef and pork meatballs to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Take the lead and stir the chives through the mash!
