  1. MASH

    Place the butternut pieces in a pot of salted water over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and the grated cheese. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.

  2. NUTS

    Boil the kettle. Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  3. BROWN MEATBALLS

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned but not cooked through, 3-4 minutes (shifting as they colour). Remove from the pan.

  4. SAUCY MOMENT

    Dilute the stock with 150ml of boiling water. Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil (if necessary). When hot, fry the sliced onions and the carrot pieces until lightly golden, 5-6 minutes. Add the tomato paste, the rub & flour mix, and the grated garlic, and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Deglaze the pan with the wine and simmer until almost evaporated. Pour in the diluted stock and simmer until the carrots are soft and the sauce has thickened, 10-12 minutes. In the final 3-4 minutes, add the browned meatballs and simmer until cooked through. Mix in the rinsed spinach until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste) and season.

  5. DINNER IS READY

    Plate up the cheesy mash. Side with the meatballs & all the sauce. Sprinkle over the toasted almonds. Well done, Chef!
