Cooking steps
1
- Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
- Chop the potatoes lengthways into 1cm slices, then chop into 1cm chips (peeling optional).
- Pop the chips onto a large (lined) baking tray.
- Drizzle with oil, season well with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
- When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until golden, 25-30 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.
TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
2
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- In a large bowl, combine mince, breadcrumbs and half the garlic.
- Add in ¼ tsp salt (per 2P), 2 tbsp water (per 2P) and half a sachet of Italian herbs (per 2P).
- Season with pepper and mix together by hand. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
- Roll into evenly-sized balls, 3-4 per person. Pop onto a separate lined baking tray.
3
- Trim the green beans.
- Roughly chop the chives (use scissors if you prefer).
- When the chips are halfway through cooking, turn the tray then pop the meatballs into the oven.
- Bake until the meatballs are browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
4
- When 10 mins of cooking time remain, boil a pot of salted water.
- When boiling, add the green beans and cook until tender, 3-5 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
- Season with salt and pepper, add a knob of butter (if you have any to hand). Set aside and cover to keep warm.
TIP: To save time you can also boil the water in your kettle.
5
- Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 secs.
- Stir in the creme fraiche, stock and 75ml water (per 2P).
- Bring to the boil and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 mins.
- Once thickened, stir in three-quarters of the chives. Season to taste with pepper, then remove the pan from the heat.
TIP: Loosen with a splash of water if necessary.
6
- When everything is ready, stir the cooked meatballs through the creamy sauce (reheating the sauce if necessary).
- Share the meatballs and sauce between plates.
- Sprinkle over as much of the remaining chives as you like.
- Serve with chips and green beans alongside.
