- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a low-medium heat and fry the onion for 5 mins to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min, then tip into a large mixing bowl to cool for 10 mins.
- Add the tomato purée, 75g breadcrumbs, the mince and dried herbs; mix well. Grease a 12-hole muffin tin with a little oil. Divide the mince mixture between them, rounding the tops, then sprinkle over the remaining breadcrumbs. Bake for 25-30 mins until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, boil the potatoes for 12-15 mins until tender. Drain well, then return to the pan. Add the crème fraîche and parsley, then mash until smooth.
- Heat the beans with the BBQ sauce in a small pan until piping hot. Serve the mini meatloaves with the parsley mash and BBQ beans.
