Method

  1. Shape Meatballs: Mix beef mince, grated onion, and half the garlic, then roll into sixteen uniform spheres.

  2. Sear Beef: Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan and brown the meatballs evenly for 5 minutes.

  3. Simmer Sauce: Stir in remaining garlic, chopped tomatoes, chicory purée, and smoked paprika.

  4. Combine Together: Lower the heat and simmer the meatballs inside the sauce for 20 minutes until cooked through.

Chef's Tip

Nutritional Insight: The hidden chicory purée delivers premium inulin fibre to feed beneficial gut microbes whilst maintaining structural fullness. Culinary Hack: Grate the onion directly into the raw meat mixture to retain all natural juices, keeping the extra-lean beef incredibly tender.
