  1. ROASTING TIME

    Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the Butternut chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and crisping up, shifting halfway.

  2. HAVE A BALL!

    Dilute the stock and the tomato paste with 50ml of boiling water. In a bowl, place the grated Garlic, the mince, the herb crumb, and some seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Lightly wet your hands, to stop the mixture from sticking to them, and roll into 4-5 meatballs. Place the meatballs in an ovenproof dish with the onion wedges and the olives. Coat in oil and some seasoning. Pour in the diluted tomato stock. Pop in the oven and roast for 15-20 until the meatballs and veggies are cooked and starting to brown.

  3. THE MASH UP

    Place a pot over a medium-high heat with the rinsed beans and 1 tbsp of milk or water. Once boiling, remove from the heat and stir in a drizzle of oil or a knob of butter and some seasoning. Place in a blender or mash with a fork or potato masher until desired consistency. If it’s too thick add a splash of water or milk.

  4. ALMOST THERE

    Once the veggies are cooked, remove the onions and olives from the tray and toss with the roasted Butternut, reserving the meatballs and sauce on the tray.

  5. LET'S EAT!

    Make a bed of butter bean mash and top with the meatballs drizzled with the tomato sauce. Side with the roasted veggies. Garnish with the chopped mint and enjoy the beautiful food, Chef!
