Cooking Steps

Mash the Potatoes
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional). 
  • Place in a pot, cover with water and season with salt. Bring to the boil and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander (reserving a little cooking water) and return to the pot, off the heat.
  • Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or cooking water. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
Make the Meatballs
2
  • Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • In a large bowl, combine the mince, garlic, half the 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.
Bake the Meatballs
3
  • Pop the meatballs onto a lined baking tray.
  • When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Toast the Pangrattato
4
  • Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil
  • When hot, add the breadcrumbs.
  • Fry until crispy, 4-5 mins. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Remove from the pan and set aside. Once cooled, mix with the Italian hard cheese
Simmer the Sauce
5
  • Roughly chop the mushrooms
  • Return the pan to a high heat with another drizzle of oil
  • Once hot, add mushrooms and cook until charred, 4-5 mins, shifting occasionally as they cook.
  • Remove from the heat and add the stock, paprika and creme fraiche.
  • Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if necessary. Season to taste with salt and pepper
Finish and Serve
6
  • Divide the mash between plates and top with the meatballs.
  • Pour over the mushroom sauce and scatter over the cheesy pangrattato.
