COOKING
INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the Potatoes 🥔:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the potato chunks and parboil for 5-7 minutes until just tender but still firm.
  • Drain and toss with olive oil, salt, and rosemary (or Italian herb blend, if using).
  • Spread them out on a lined baking tray.

Prepare the Meatballs 🍖🧀:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • In a bowl, mix the pork, veal, and beef mince with the finely chopped onion, Italian Herbs, salt, and black pepper and divide the mixture in half.
  • Flatten each portion into a patty, place a mozzarella cube in the centre, then wrap the meat around it, sealing well to form two large meatballs.

Roast 🍖🔥🥔:

  • Place both the meatballs and potatoes in the oven.
  • Roast for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs are golden brown and cooked through.
  • The potatoes will also take 20-25 minutes but can be left for longer for extra crispiness. Flip them halfway through for even browning.

Make the Pomodoro Sauce 🍅:

  • While everything is roasting, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, and black pepper.
  • Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Serve, Eat up and enjoy! 🍖🧀🥔🍅🇮🇹 🍽️:

  • Plate the mozzarella-stuffed meatballs with the crispy roasted potatoes and spoon the Pomodoro sauce on the side.
