Instructions
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Strip 1 tbsp thyme (dbl for 4 ppl) from the stems. Peel, then mince or grate the garlic. Mix together beef, garlic, half the thyme and half the rice in a large bowl. Season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper (dbl both for 4 ppl). Roll mixture into 10 equal-sized meatballs (20 for 4 ppl).
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) and swirl to melt. Add the mirepoix and leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle flour over the veggies. Cook, stirring often, until veggies are coated, 1 min. Add remaining rice and remaining thyme. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the broth concentrates and 5 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl). Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, using a spoon, carefully add the meatballs to the stew. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 10 minutes, then add peas.
Continue cooking, until rice is tender and meatballs are cooked through, 5-10 min.** Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Divide stew between plates.
