Cooking Steps

Bake the fries
1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into fries. • Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.

Get prepped
2

• Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. • 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 plate.

Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs!

Cook the meatballs
3

• 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).

TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before cooking the sauce.

Make it saucy
4

• Reduce heat to low, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

• Add tomato sugo, the brown sugar, butter and a splash of water, tossing meatballs to coat. Cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.

Heat the buns
5

• While the meatballs are cooking, slice brioche hotdog buns in half lengthways. Bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 5-7 minutes. • Meanwhile, thinly slice radish. In a medium bowl, combine spinach & rocket mix and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Serve up
6

• Divide radish salad and Italian meatballs between the buns. • Spoon over remaining sugo and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. • Serve with fries, mayonnaise and any remaining salad. Enjoy!

Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
