Uneven browned lamb meatballs in rustic tomato sauce over rough cauliflower mash — **TooGut pick**Flexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Almond meal replaces breadcrumbs without making the meatballs dense. Roll them lightly and deliberately vary the size; the small ones catch more sauce while the larger ones stay especially juicy.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Mix with a light hand

Combine lamb, almond meal, egg, spices, parsley, salt and pepper. Stop as soon as it holds together.

Shape them differently

Roll into 18 to 22 loosely packed meatballs of slightly different sizes. Brown in infused oil in two batches.

Simmer in rough sauce

Add tomatoes and paprika to the pan. Return meatballs and simmer for 15 minutes until the largest is cooked through.

Dry and mash

Steam cauliflower until tender, drain well and let it steam-dry for 5 minutes. Blend with butter, Parmesan and salt.

Spoon, do not pipe

Spread rough cauliflower mash over plates, add meatballs and spoon over sauce and crisp pan bits.
