Tofu Meatballs With Caper Sauce And Almond Mashed Potatoes

  1. Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling, salted water for 15-20 mins, until tender. Drain the potatoes, season and mash with the milk. Keep warm.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a frying pan, add the onion and saute for 2-3 mins. Remove from the heat. Place the onion in a bowl, let cool slightly then mix with the eggs, 3 tbsp chopped parsley, breadcrumbs, 3 tsp mustard, cottage cheese, tofu and whole capers. Shape into 12 "meatballs." Heat 2 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan, and sear the "meatballs" in batches for 4-5 mins, turning. Keep warm.
  3. For the caper sauce, melt 4 tbsp butter in a saucepan then stir in the flour. Gradually stir in the wine and stock, followed by the Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp mustard, 2 tbsp reserved caper brine and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Season. Stir in the cream, chopped capers, sugar and nutmeg then simmer for 5-10 mins, stirring occasionally.
  4. Melt the remaining butter in a pan. Add the ground almonds and mix. Divide the "meatballs" and mashed potatoes between 4 plates. Drizzle the almond butter over the potatoes and spoon the caper sauce on top. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.
