Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Peel, then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Add potatoes, 2 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 fork-tender, 10-12 min.
Meanwhile, thinly slice mushrooms. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add pork, breadcrumbs, half the garlic and half the Parmesan to a large bowl. (TIP: If you prefer a firmer meatball, add an egg to the mixture!) Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper (dbl both for 4 ppl), then combine.
Roll pork mixture into 8 equal-sized meatballs (16 for 4 ppl). Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 10-13 min.**
Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1 1/2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then remaining garlic, peas, mirepoix and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender, 4-5 min. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over veggies. Cook, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot, until veggies are coated, 1-2 min. Add broth concentrate and 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring occasionally, until stew thickens slightly, 2-4 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
When potatoes are fork-tender, drain and return them to the same pot, off heat. Mash remaining Parmesan, 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp milk (dbl both for 4 ppl) into potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Stir meatballs into stew. Divide Parmesan mash between bowls. Top with stew.
