Method

Hide images
step 1
Add the M&S beef mince 12% fat (500 g) to a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper and mix with your hands until well combined. Divide the mix into approx 16 golf ball-sized balls, rolling with wet hands. Push a pinch of mature cheddar (30 g) into the centre of each ball, and close the meat around it to seal.
step 2
Add the M&S maris piper potatoes (700 g) to a large pan of boiling water, simmer for 15 minutes then add the M&S Remarkable Value broccoli (1 head) for a further 5 minutes.
step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tbsp M&S extra virgin olive oil (1 tbsp) in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the meatballs for 3-5 minutes, until caramelised all over. Remove from the pan and set to one side.
step 4
Lower the heat to medium, add 2 tbsp M&S extra virgin olive oil (2 tbsp) and fry the onion (1) and M&S Remarksable Value garlic (1 clove) for around 5 minutes, until soft. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the M&S Italian chopped tomatoes (1 tin) and add a pinch of dried oregano (1 tsp) and chilli flakes (1 pinch), if you like.
step 5
Bring to the boil before adding the meatballs. Simmer on a low heat for 10-15 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.
step 6
Once the potatoes and broccoli are ready, drain and allow to steam dry for 2 minutes. Return to the pan with a drizzle of oil, season and mash. Serve with the meatballs and extra cheese on top.
