40 min totaal 1 portie 450 kcal p.p. 40 g protein

A proper Dutch meatball, but made from lean beef mince and simmered in a light gravy until it's juicy and tender. Mustard and a touch of breadcrumbs keep the ball firm and flavourful, whilst crispy green beans and a small potato round out the plate. Familiar Sunday dinner flavours, thoughtfully tailored to your goals.

In Phase 2, you can enjoy a little potato again, and this meatball makes good use of that allowance. The lean mince delivers a hefty forty grams of protein, which feeds your muscles and keeps you satisfied for hours, whilst the small portion of potato and green beans keep carbs nicely in balance. A dish that combines comfort with your high-protein diet with ease.

Lovely with a spoonful of the light gravy spooned over everything and some extra steamed veg of your choice. A small bowl of apple compote adds a nostalgic, sweet touch.

Zo maak je het

  1. Mix the mince with breadcrumbs, egg, mustard, pepper and salt and roll into a ball.
  2. Brown the meatball all over in a dry non-stick pan.
  3. Pour in the stock and simmer gently for twenty minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the green beans and potato until tender.
  5. Lightly thicken the gravy if desired and serve everything together.

Bewaren

Store the meatball with gravy covered for a maximum of three days in the fridge or freeze it for up to three months. Reheat gently in the gravy so the meat stays juicy.

Variatietips

Make the balls from lean turkey mince for a lighter flavour. A splash of tomato puree through the gravy gives a fuller, savoury tone without many extra calories.
