Swedish meatballs for the time poor.

Heaving adapted from James Martin’s https://www.jamesmartinchef.co.uk/recipes/swedish-meatballs/ . This is using pre-made meatballs, pre-made cranberry sauce, and just making life easier for ourselves.

This is involved. Perfect at the of a day working from home, if you it’s been an easier day, or a weekend treat.

== Ingredients for two ==
* One quantity of Swedish meatball sauce - As seen in the Modern Larder.
* 10 mini meatballs.<br/>Allow 5 mini meatballs per person, we like beef and venison or there are some companies doing pork and beef.
* 1 medium potato per person, quartered if very large, with the skins left on.
* Peas, broccoli, carrots, baby corn - whatever you have to hand.
* Port and wine red currant sauce (usually available at Christmas time)<br/>Or<br/>Cranberry sauce works really well with it.

== Directions ==
# Get the water boiling for the potatoes, I put the potatoes before turning on the hob.
# Set the timer to 15-18 minutes.
# Arrange the meatballs on a glass baking sheet and preheat the microwave's grill to ‘low’ (circa 700W of power).
# As soon as the grill is ready, place the tray on the baking rack on shelf position 2 and get the grill and microwave to low for the grill and 440W for the microwave power.
# Add sliced carrots to the vegetable pot.
# When there are 6 minutes to go, add baby corn to the pot.
# Start the Swedish meatball sauce, excluding the water, in a small sauce pot.
# Cook the meatballs for 2 minutes, turn over the meatballs and do for a second 2 minutes.
# Rest the meatballs for 2 minutes at the end.
# Add a small ladle of water from the vegetable pot to the Swedish meatball sauce, and the stock, add the cream, and bring to the boil. Simmer.
# While the meatballs are resting add any frozen veg to the pot.

Serve.

If you’d rather a mash, we cook the potatoes along with some swede and make a coarse mash that goes really well with this dish.
