MAKE THE MASH
Boil the kettle. Place the Potato pieces in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add a knob of butter (optional) and a splash of water or milk. Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
ON A ROLL
In a bowl, combine the mince, a ¼ of the diced Onion, and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly and roll into 4-5 meatballs. Set aside.
PLUMP Peas
Submerge the Peas in boiling water until plump, 2-3 minutes. Drain and place in a bowl. Just before serving, add the shredded salad leaves, seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss until combined.
MMMEATBALLS
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned and cooked through, 4-5 minutes (shifting as they colour). Remove from the pan and cover.
CREAMY SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. When hot, fry the remaining Onion until soft, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the wine and simmer until almost all evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Add the creamy dijon and 50ml of warm water. Simmer until reduced and slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. Season.
