Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Combine breadcrumbs and 1 tbsp milk (dbl for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Set aside. Peel, then 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. Arrange unpeeled garlic cloves on a small piece of foil, then drizzle with 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl). Wrap foil around garlic to create a sealed package. Place garlic package directly on the top rack of the oven and roast until tender, 14-15 min.
Meanwhile, add beef, half the Parmesan and half the beef stock powder to the bowl with breadcrumb mixture. (TIP: If you prefer a more tender meatball, add an egg to the mixture!) Season with salt and pepper, then combine. Roll beef mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs (16 for 4 ppl).Arrange meatballs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Once garlic has roasted for 5 min, roast meatballs in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 10-12 min.**
Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then aromatics blend and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender, 5-6 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 1/2 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl). 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. Carefully remove roasted garlic from the foil, then peel cloves. Mash roasted garlic, remaining Parmesan, 1 tbsp butter and 3 tbsp milk (dbl both for 4 ppl) into potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Add meatballs to stew. Stir gently to combine, 1 min. Divide roasted garlic Parmesan mash between bowls. Top with meatball and mushroom stew.
