Cooking Steps
- Thinly slice chives.
- Cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
- Peel, then cut carrots into 1/2-inch coins.
- Add carrots, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) Montreal Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender-crisp, 14-16 min.
- Meanwhile, add beef, broth concentrate, breadcrumbs, half the chives, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) Montreal Spice Blend to a large bowl. (TIP: If you prefer a more tender meatball, add an egg to mixture!)
- Combine, then form beef mixture into 8 equal-sized patties (16 patties for 4 ppl).
- Add 1/2 tbsp mozzarella to the middle of each patty, then shape and press patty firmly around cheese, fully enclosing it to create a ball.
- Repeat until all meatballs are formed.
- Arrange meatballs on another parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast in the top of the oven until cooked through, 14-16 min.**
- Add cauliflower, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl).
- Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high.
- Cook, uncovered, until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return cauliflower to the same pot, off heat.
- Mash 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter into cauliflower until almost creamy. (NOTE: Cauliflower mash will still have a few lumps!)
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide cauliflower mash, roasted carrots and stuffed meatballs between plates.
- Sprinkle remaining chives over top.
