Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Trim the aubergine and courgette. Chop both into 2cm sized chunks. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2 cm sized chunks. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Pop the aubergine, courgette and pepper on a low sided baking tray. Sprinkle on half the herb de Provence and half the garlic. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix to combine and spread out in a single layer. Roast on the top shelf of your oven until the veggies are soft, 20-25 mins. Turning halfway through

 Meanwhile, pop the panko breadcrumbs into a large bowl. Add the water for the meatballs (see ingredients for amount) and mix together.  Add the beef mince. Season with salt, pepper and the remaining Herb de Provences.  Using your hands mix everything together until very well combined. Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized balls. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands after handling raw meat.

3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over a medium high heat. Once hot add the meatballs and sliced shallot. Fry until browned all over, 5-6 mins.

Once the meatballs have browned, add the remaining garlic and cook for a further 1 minute. Pour in the passata, beef stock powder and water (see ingredients for amount) and a pinch of sugar if you have some. Stir together well, cover with a lid or foil and simmer stirring occasionally,15-17 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
