Quick and easy to make these Thai mushroom and chicken meatballs can be ready in under thirty minutes and pack a flavour punch at dinner parties.


Ingredients

  • 400g button, cup or flat mushrooms
  • 3 tbs vegetable oil
  • 1 bunch coriander
  • 3 green onions (shallots), roughly chopped
  • 400g chicken mince
  • 2 tbs Thai red curry paste
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for cooking
  • Iceberg lettuce leaves, sweet chilli sauce & lime wedges, to serve


Method

  1. Finely chop mushrooms by hand or alternatively, pulse in a food processor to finely chop
  2. Heat 1 tbs oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for 8 minutes or until all moisture has evaporated. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Drain any excess moisture and transfer mushrooms to a bowl. Wipe pan clean
  3. Clean and cut two roots from coriander. Place roots into a food processor, add green onions and 1 cup coriander leaves. Pulse until finely chopped. Add coriander mixture, mince, curry paste, egg and breadcrumbs to mushrooms Mix until well combined. Shape 1 tbs of mixture into balls with damp hands. Place onto a tray, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour if time permits (this helps hold meatballs together when cooking)
