MASH
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 vegan butter (optional) and a splash of milk alternative (optional). Mash with a fork, season, and cover.
TOAST
Place the sunflower seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
GOLDEN MEATBALLS
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the meatballs until browned, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan.
MAKE THE SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced onions and the Carrot pieces until the onions are soft and lightly golden, 4-5 minutes. Add the grated garlic and the NOMU rub. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the tomato passata and 150ml of water. Simmer until reduced and thickening, 10-12 minutes. In the final 2-3 minutes, add the peas, the rinsed kidney beans, and the meatballs. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and season.
