A caramelised onion chutney is a wonderful topping to add, but we’re being a bit tricky tonight. Surprise everyone by rolling it into the meatballs when you combine all the ingredients and flavours together to create plump balls of deliciousness. The surprises don’t stop there though, we’re making a veggie smash with carrot and potato, a one-up from the beloved mash potato. Magical!

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Peel potato and carrot, then cut both into large chunks. Thinly slice pear into wedges.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato and carrot unpeeled!
• Cook potato and carrot in the boiling water until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes. Drain. • Return veggies to pan, then season generously with salt. Mash until smooth.
Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the veggies!
• Meanwhile, combine beef mince, onion chutney, fine breadcrumbs, Aussie spice blend and a pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
TIP: The onion chutney helps to bind the meatballs!
Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs!
• In a large frying pan, heat a 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). • Remove from heat, then stir in BBQ sauce and a splash of water, tossing to coat.
TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before cooking the glaze.
TIP: Reduce heat to medium, if meatballs are becoming too charred.
• While the meatballs are cooking, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a second medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. • Add spinach & rocket mix and pear, then toss to coat.
• Divide veggie mash, onion chutney beef meatballs and pear salad between plates. • Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over salad. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the pumpkin seeds!
