Cooking Steps

Make and cook meatballs
1
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • To a large bowl, add beef and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) panko. Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) pepper, then combine.
  • Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
  • On the prepared baking sheet, arrange meatballs. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min or until browned and cooked through.**
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, trim green beans. 
  • Peel, then halve shallot. Cut half the shallot into 1/4-inch slices. Cut the other half into 1/4-inch pieces. 
  • Halve ciabatta rolls.
  • On an unlined baking sheet, arrange ciabatta, then set aside. 
Cook veggies
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add green beans, sliced shallots and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates.
  • Add half the garlic spread. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until spread is melted and green beans are tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer beans to a small bowl, then cover to keep warm.
Make sauce
4
  • To the same pan, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and chopped shallots. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until tender.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, then add tomato sauce base. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant.
  • Add half the crushed tomatoes (use all for 4 servings) and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Melt dairy free cheese and toast ciabatta
5
  • Once meatballs are cooked through, add them to the sauce.
  • Sprinkle dairy free cheese over top of meatballs, then cover and remove the pan from heat. Set aside for 2-3 min, until dairy free cheese is melted. 
  • Meanwhile, toast ciabatta in the middle of the oven for 3-4 min, until browned. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.)
Finish and serve
6
  • Spread remaining garlic spread over ciabatta, then cut into four equal pieces.
  • Divide meatballs and sauce between bowls.
  • Divide veggies and garlic sticks between plates.
