Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
In a large bowl, combine half the garlic, half the hard Italian style cheese, the breadcrumbs and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for amount), then add the beef mince.
Season with pepper and mix together with your hands. Roll into even-sized balls, 5 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Pop the meatballs into an ovenproof dish. When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, pop a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
Pour in the chopped tomatoes, chicken stock paste, sugar (see pantry for amount) and half the mixed herbs.
Stir together well, then bring back to the boil and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins.
While the sauce simmers, halve the ciabatta and pop onto a baking tray, cut-side up.
Pop the remaining garlic into a small bowl with the olive oil for the garlic bread (see pantry for amount) and remaining mixed herbs.
Mix well to combine, then spoon over the cut sides of the ciabatta.
Once the sauce has thickened, taste and season if needed. Stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted, then remove from the heat.
When the meatballs are cooked, remove from the oven and pour over the tomato sauce. Grate the Cheddar over the top and sprinkle with the remaining hard Italian style cheese.
Bake your parmigiana on the top shelf and the garlic bread on the middle shelf of your oven until both are golden, 5-6 mins.
Meanwhile, trim the baby gem, then separate the leaves.
In another medium bowl, combine the cider vinegar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount), then season with salt and pepper.
Add the baby gem to the dressing and toss to coat.
When everything is ready, share the meatball parmigiana and salad between your plates.
Cut the garlic bread into triangles, then serve on the side.
Enjoy!
