Meatballs

Sautéed Chicory

Roasted Potatoes

Method

Meatballs Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Form the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 10-12 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Sautéed Chicory Preparation

  1. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

    In the same pan, add more olive oil if needed. Add whole garlic cloves and sliced red chili pepper. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Cook the Chicory

    Add the chopped chicory to the pan, sprinkle with salt, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until wilted and tender. Remove from heat.

Roasted Potatoes Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). In a large bowl, toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chopped rosemary.

  2. 7

    Roast the Potatoes

    Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through.
