Ingredients

Servings: 1
  • 1 red pepper
  • 3-4 Stem(s) Parsley
  • 750 g floury potatoes
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 7-10 Tbsp Nutmeg
  • 500 g green beans
  • 1 medium onion
  • 400 g mixed mince
  • 1 Egg (Gr. M)
  • 1 TABLESPOON Breadcrumbs
  • 3 TABLESPOONS Oil
  • 175-200 ml Milk
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Butter
  • 1 TABLESPOON Tomato ketchup

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut open the peppers, remove the seeds and stalk. Cut the bell peppers into thin strips, cut some in half. Wash the parsley and chop it finely with a chopping knife, for example. Peel and wash the potatoes and cook them in salted water (with lid) for about 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cut the ends off the beans. Then wash the beans and cook them in a 2nd pot in boiling salted water for about 15 minutes (with lid).

  3. 3

    Now peel the onion and cut it into fine cubes (maybe I can help you with that). Knead minced meat, diced onion, egg and breadcrumbs with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Season the mince with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Then you make 16-20 little meatballs. Moisten your hands again and again with water to prevent the mince from sticking to your fingers.

  5. 5

    Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. Fry half of the meatballs for about 8 minutes, turning them over and taking them out. Now add 1 tbsp. oil to the pan and fry the remaining meatballs in the same way.

  6. 6

    Heat milk and 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan. Drain the potatoes. Pour the warm milk over the potatoes and mash everything with a potato masher. Season the puree with salt and nutmeg.

  7. 7

    Drain the beans. Pour 1 tablespoon of butter over the hot beans. Then spread the puree as a lion face on 4 flat plates. Place the meatballs as nose and eyes, the pepper strips as mouth on top and some beans as whiskers on the nose.

  8. 8

    You can sprinkle the parsley like hair on your head. Ketchup stains are the pupils. Serve with the rest of the beans, peppers and meatballs.
