Beef Albóndigas and Butter Bean Stew

with Homemade Pan con Tomate

Difficulty: 2/3
Spanish

Both albóndigas and pan con tomate are classic tapas dishes found all over the Spain, meaning 'meatballs' and 'bread with tomato' respectively. We're serving them together by adding the albóndigas to a cannellini bean stew as beans are a staple in Iberian cuisine. Our easy pan con tomate is spread with grated tomatoes mixed with olive oil and garlic.

Preparation
1
Start the Prep

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. 

Pop half the garlic (unpeeled) into a small piece of foil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose it. Roast the parcel until soft, 10-12 mins.

Peel and grate the remaining garlic (or use a garlic press).

In a large bowl, combine the sun-dried tomato paste, breadcrumbs, salt and water for the breadcrumbs (see pantry for both amounts), then add the beef mince and half the grated garlic. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. 

Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.

2
Into the Oven

Roll into evenly-sized balls, 5 per person. Pop the meatballs onto a large baking tray. 

When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

3
Finish the Prep

Meanwhile, cut the ciabatta into 1cm slices. Pop the ciabatta slices onto a medium baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Bake on the middle shelf until golden, 8-10 mins.

Meanwhile, drain and rinse the butter beans in a sieve. Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Halve the tomatoes.

Using a box grater over a medium bowl, carefully grate the tomato halves until you're only left with the skin. Discard the skin.

Stir in the sugar and olive oil (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper and set aside for later. 

4
Bring on the Beans

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion to the pan and stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins.

Once softened, add the paprika and remaining grated garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, 1 min. Pour in the red wine vinegar and allow it to evaporate, 30 secs.

Next, stir in the butter beans, passata, red wine stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). 

Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins.

5
Finishing Touches

Once the garlic has cooled, cut the end with scissors, squeeze it out of the skin and mash with a fork. Stir through the grated tomato

Once the meatballs are cooked through, stir them into the beans and simmer for 2-3 mins more.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if you feel it needs. Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick.

6
Serve Up

When everything's ready, spoon the tomato mixture over the toasts

Share your albóndigas and bean stew between serving bowls. Top with the rocket and drizzle over some olive oil.

Serve your pan con tomate alongside.
