Preparation

Preheat oven to 425˚F.

Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil; salt water and cook to tender.

Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Meanwhile, mix meat with bread, a splash of stock, egg, shallots, thyme, marmalade combined with mustard, salt and pepper. Form 6 mini meatloaves and arrange on parchment paper, cover with some EVOO and roast to golden, 20 minutes or so.

For gravy, over medium heat in skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter, whisk in flour 1 minute, then whisk in a splash of orange juice, Worcestershire and 1 cup chicken stock. Thicken for a few minutes and season with salt and pepper to taste.

To a second larger skillet add peas, a small splash of water and butter. Bring the peas to a boil, reduce out the water 2-3 minutes, then reduce heat to medium and sauté with radishes 2-3 minutes more, add chives, season with salt and pepper.

Drain cooked sweet potatoes and return to hot pot. Mash with a little stock and cream, then add salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste.
