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.
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.
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.
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. Deglaze the pan with the wine and simmer until almost evaporated. Pour in the diluted stock mix. 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 the rinsed spinach. Cook until the meatballs are cooked through and the spinach is wilted. Mix in the rinsed spinach, remove from the heat, add a sweetener, and season.
