Comforting and delicious meatballs and mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
PEA AND FETA MASHED POTATOES
- 1 bag diced potatoes
- ½ bag frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 courgette, grated
- ½ block feta cheese
CAPSICUM PESTO MEATBALLS
- 1 packet lamb meatballs
- 1 capsicum
- 1-1½ cups chicken stock
- 1 pottle capsicum pesto
Steps
-
a full kettle to the boil.
-
Place potatoes and a pinch of salt in a medium pot and cover with boiling water. Cook on high heat for about 15 minutes, until tender. Add peas and cook for a further 1 minute, until bright green. Drain well and return to pot with butter and milk. Set aside, covered to keep warm.
-
While potatoes are cooking, heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook lamb meatballs for about 5 minutes, until starting to brown. Turn often to ensure even cooking.
-
While meatballs cook, remove core and seeds from capsicum and slice into 1cm-thick strips. Add capsicum to pan with meatballs and cook for a further 3 minutes, until capsicum is tender and meatballs are golden and just cooked through.
-
Add stock and capsicum pesto to pan with meatballs. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and sauce has thickened and reduced. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Mash potatoes and peas until smooth. Fold courgette and feta through mash and season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
divide pea and feta smashed potatoes between plates, top with capsicum pesto meatballs and drizzle over any remaining sauce from the pan.
