An alternative to beef meatballs, these are delicious served with a mixed veggie mash.
Ingredients
SERVES 4
500 g chicken mince
1 slice wholewheat bread, soaked in stock
15 ml freshly grated ginger
1 red chilli, seeded and chopped
1 medium onion, finely grated
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 egg, beaten
3 large baby marrows, finely grated
3 carrots, finely grated
20 ml fish sauce
7,5 ml cumin
45 ml fresh mint, finely chopped
45 ml fresh coriander, finely chopped
10 - 15 ml oil for frying
Method
- Place all the ingredients, except oil, in an AMC 24 cm Dome. Mix well and season to taste. Roll into small balls.
- Heat an 24 cm Gourmet Dome Fry Pan or 30 cm Electric Frying Pan over a medium temperature (Probe on 6) until the Visiotherm® reaches the first red area. Coat base of pan with a thin layer of oil, then fry meatballs on both sides until cooked through and golden brown. Spoon out and repeat with remaining meatballs. Temperature stays on medium setting.
- Once cooked, serve meatballs warm with a mixed vegetable mash and a green salad.
Tips
- If preferred, omit the ginger, fish sauce, coriander and mint and add some finely chopped parsley.
- Freeze cooked meatballs and defrost them as needed – great to pop into lunch boxes.
