Cooking steps

Make the Wedges
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Chop sweet potatoes into 2cm thick wedges (peeling optional).
  • Pop the wedges onto a large (lined) baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss to coat and spread out in a single layer.
  • Roast on the top shelf of the oven until crispy, 25-35 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. You want them nicely spaced out to achieve a crispy finish!

Make the Meatballs
2
  • In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with the beef mince and the pesto.
  • Season with salt and pepper and mix together by hand.
  • Roll into evenly-sized balls, 5-6 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
  • When the wedges have 15 mins left to cook, add the meatballs to the tray and return to the oven for remaining cooking time, 12-15 mins.
Fry the Bacon
3
  • Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the bacon lardons until golden, stirring occasionally, 5-7 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook lardons thoroughly.
Simmer the Sauce
4
  • Pour the passata and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) into the pan and toss to coat. IMPORTANT: Meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Simmer until the sauce is thickened, 4-6 mins. Stir through a knob of butter.
Bake the Brioche Rolls
5
  • Once the sauce has warmed, transfer the sweet potato wedges to the middle shelf of the oven.
  • Slice the brioche rolls down through the middle (but not all the way through) and divide the meatballs between them. Pour the sauce over the top.
  • Sprinkle over the cheese, then bake on the top shelf of the oven until the cheese has melted, 4-5 mins.
  • Meanwhile, halve the cabbage, remove the core, then thinly slice. Toss with the aioli and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Finish and Serve
6
  • When everything is ready, carefully transfer the brioche rolls to your plates.
  • Plate up the sweet potato wedges with cabbage slaw alongside.
