Cooking Steps
- Combine breadcrumbs and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) milk in a large bowl. Set aside. (NOTE: This will be for meatballs!)
- Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes, 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a medium pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered, until potatoes are fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice mushrooms.
- Add beef, half the Parmesan and half the beef stock powder to the bowl with breadcrumb mixture. Season with salt and pepper, then combine.
- Roll beef mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- Arrange meatballs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Roast meatballs in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 10-14 min.**
- Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add half the Garlic Spread, then swirl the pan to melt.
- Add mirepoix and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender, 4-5 min.
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Sprinkle flour over veggies. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 1-2 min.
- Add broth concentrate, peas, remaining beef stock powder and 1 cup (2 cups) water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until stew thickens slightly, 5-6 min.
- When potatoes are fork-tender, drain and return them to the same pot, off heat.
- Roughly mash remaining Garlic Spread, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, remaining Parmesan and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) milk into potatoes until lightly mashed.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add meatballs to the stew. Stir gently to combine, 1 min.
- Divide Parmesan smash between bowls. Top with meatball and mushroom stew.
If you've opted for double beef, add an extra 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to the beef mixture. (TIP: For 4 ppl, if you prefer more tender meatballs add 2 eggs to the mixture!) Roll mixture into 16 (32) equal-sized meatballs.
