Make a stroganoff sauce with mushrooms as the base to serve with meatballs, mash and spinach. It's sure to be a crowd-pleaser
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and oil a baking tray. Combine the beef mince, egg, 1 tbsp flour and a pinch each of salt and ground black pepper in a large bowl. Scoop as many meatballs as you can out onto the tray using an ice-cream scoop, then bake for 10-12 mins until the meatballs are evenly browned.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. Heat the garlic oil in a small pan over a medium heat and cook the mushrooms for a few minutes until slightly golden. Stir in the remaining flour, the paprika, mustard and tomato purée, then mix to coat the mushrooms. Pour in the stock, season, then simmer for a 5-6 mins until slightly thickened. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the soured cream. Cook for 1 min more, then add the meatballs and stir to coat in the sauce. To serve heat the mashed potato according to the packet instructions and wilt the spinach in a pan with 1 tablespoon of water. Once completely cool, will keep frozen for up to three months. Defrost overnight in the fridge, then reheat until piping hot.
