Family-friendly Spanish almond meatballs over creamy mashed potatoes.
Ingredients:
  • 1kg pork and veal mince
  • 187.50 ml chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 2.50 gm mixed spice
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 375.00 ml stale breadcrumbs
  • 5 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 brown onions, finely chopped
  • 56.88 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 7.50 gm ground paprika
  • 1 long red chilli, finely chopped
  • 375.00 gm dry white wine
  • 1 litre salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 100.00 gm almond meal
  • 1 bunch steamed broccolini, to serve
  • Mashed potato, to serve
  • Toasted natural sliced almonds, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, mix together mince, 1/2 cup parsley, mixed spice, egg, breadcrumbs, 2/3 of the garlic, and half of the onion. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the mixture into balls using tablespoonfuls and place them on a plate.
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, sear half of the meatballs in 1 tablespoon of oil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining meatballs and oil.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the rest of the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in turmeric, paprika, and half of the chili and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine, bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Combine almond meal and meatballs with the sauce, simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until meatballs are fully cooked and the sauce thickens. Serve the meatballs with almond sauce alongside broccolini and mashed potatoes, garnish with remaining parsley, chili, and sliced almonds.
