500g Chicken mince
1 Egg
15g Panko breadcrumbs
5ml salt
100g Corn Kernels
2 Garlic cloves
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
40ml Chopped fresh coriander
60ml Spring Onions
Black Pepper
Sunflower Oil
Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
2 red peppers
30ml olive oil
40ml Chopped fresh coriander
2 Garlic cloves
15ml sweet chilli sauce
30ml Red wine vinegar
1 Chili
Salt and black pepper for seasoning
Place the peppers on a baking tray and roast for about 30 minutes at 200°C. Place peppers immediately in a plastic bag and seal. Leave to sweat. Once cooled – remove the skins.
Place the peppers with the rest of the sauce ingredients in a jar and use a stick blender to blend till smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Mix together all the chicken meatball ingredients (except the sunflower oil) and shape meatballs the size of golf balls with your hands (wet your hands lightly).
Pour about 5mm sunflower oil into a frying pan and heat. Fry the meatball on medium heat on both sides until cooked and golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the sauce on the side.
