Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 210°C. Peel or thoroughly wash the potatoes and then cut into fries of no more than 1cm thickness. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add half of the Sicilian herbs and season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 30 - 35 minutes or until golden-brown, tossing halfway.
Crush or mince the garlic and transfer to a large bowl. Add the mince, panko, the rest of the Sicilian herbs and the water (see pantry for amount). Season generously with salt and pepper, then knead well to combine. Shape into a meatloaf and transfer to an oven dish. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, then set aside until step 5.
Meanwhile, prepare the stock and chop the onion into thin half rings. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the onion for 6 - 8 minutes. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar, then add the sugar, the tomato paste and the stock. Allow to reduce for 5 - 8 minutes over low heat, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
Discard the tips of the green beans and then cut in half. Transfer to a pot or saucepan and cover with a shallow layer of water. Add a pinch of salt and cover with the lid, then bring to the boil and allow to cook gently for 6 - 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Did you know… green beans are high in potassium, which helps maintain a healthy blood pressure. They're also a good source of iron and folic acid, both of which help us feel more energised.
Tear the mozzarella into small pieces. Spread the tomato sauce over the meatloaf, then top with the mozzarella. Return to the oven for 2 - 3 minutes, or until the mozzarella has melted (see Tip).
Tip: bake the meatloaf for another 5 - 10 minutes as needed if it's not done yet.
Slice the meatloaf and serve on plates with the fries and green beans alongside. Drizzle with the tomato sauce from the oven dish to finish.
