This is such a simple dish and it combines so many fresh flavours to make for a nourishing winter meal. I got a thumbs up from my 3 year old and a very happy husband this Sunday due to this 😉
The key to these meatballs is to get the best quality meat from your butchers, with fresh mint and an assortment of Mediterranean veg, serve with a fresh green salad to make sure you get your 5-a-day!
This meal literally just melts in your mouth with moist meatballs and flavourful veg bursting with fresh, sweet flavour. The cherry tomatoes disintegrate into a fabulous tomatoey sauce to mop up your chips with. Yum x
