Instructions
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
- Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peeling optional).
- Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
- Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or water. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
2
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
3
- In a large bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp water and ½ tsp salt (double both for 4p).
- Add the pork mince and half the dried Italian herbs (double for 4p).
- Season with pepper and mix together by hand.
- Roll into evenly-sized balls, 5 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
4
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the pork meatballs until browned all over and cooked through, shifting frequently, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: Meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Once cooked, remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
5
- Return the pan to medium-high heat, with a drizzle of oil if needed.
- Fry the onion and garlic until slightly softened, 3-4 mins.
- Add the stock powder, passata, Worcester sauce, 1 tsp sugar and 50ml water (double both for 4p). Simmer until slightly thickened, 5-7 mins.

- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir through a knob of butter.
6
