Want the kids to play ball? Get them working with you to make this winner dinner. You’ll take care of boiling potatoes and butternut squash with cloves of garlic for a flavour infusion. Then your helpers can flex a little muscle to make the soft, buttery mash. Ground beef takes shape with more garlic, sumac-based spices and panko for roasting, while green beans need just a quick sauté before jumping to the table.

Preparation
Make the mash
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Peel and medium-dice the potatoes. Using the flat side of your knife, smash 2 garlic cloves. Add the potatoes, squash and smashed garlic to the pot of boiling water and boil, 14 to 16 min., until very tender. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and return to the pot. Off the heat, add 2 tbsp butter. Mash, gradually adding the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency; season with S&P. Keep warm.
Prepare the meatballs
Meanwhile, mince the remaining garlic cloves. In a large bowl, combine the beef, panko, ½ the minced garlic and ¾ of the spices. Form into 16 meatballs about the size of a golf ball.
Roast the meatballs
Arrange the meatballs* on a lined sheet pan and roast, flipping halfway, 14 to 16 min., until browned and cooked through.
Cook the green beans
Meanwhile, remove the stem ends of the green beans. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the green beans and remaining garlic. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften. Add 2 tbsp water and cook, partially covered, 1 to 2 min., until crisp-tender; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
Finish & serve
In a small bowl, combine the tzatziki and 1 tbsp water. Divide the mash, meatballs, green beans and tzatziki between your plates. Bon appétit!
