Quick Bites: Mushroom meatballs

You’ll need

1 large potato

Splash of milk

Handful of mushrooms

1 pinch oregano

1 tbsp gravy granules

50ml single cream

Handful chopped parsley

1 tbsp strawberry jam

Salt and pepper

Olive oil

Method

Peel and roughly chop a large potato into chunks. Boil in salted water for about 20 minutes until soft, then drain and mash with a splash of milk and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, pan fry a handful of mushrooms for about 10 minutes over a medium to high heat in a splash of olive oil, along with a pinch or oregano and salt and pepper.

Mix about 50ml of boiling water with a tablespoon of gravy granules – or as the instructions state on the packet.

Remove the pan with the mushrooms from the heat and then add to the gravy, along with a splash of cream.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with the mashed potato and a dollop of jam. Tip: if you don’t have milk, you can make a tasty mashed potato with just potatoes, salt and a splash of olive oil.
