CHICKEN MEATBALL MARSALA

Steps:

• Place a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil followed by the onions and 2 of the minced garlic cloves with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent, 5 minutes. Remove to a plate to cool slightly.
• In the meantime, mix together the chicken, Worcestershire, breadcrumbs, parsley, oregano, egg and Parmesan in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper, then mix in the cooled onions and garlic. Scoop into 12 meatballs then set aside. This can be done a day ahead of time.
• Dredge the meatballs in the flour, shaking off any excess.
• Heat a large cast-iron enamel skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the meatballs and cook until golden brown and crisp, 2 minutes, then flip and continue to brown on the other side until golden brown and crisp, 2 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
• To the same skillet, add the mushrooms and remaining 2 minced garlic cloves with a little more olive oil. Cook until the mushrooms soften and begin to crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper. Add the marsala, scraping any brown bits off the bottom of the pan then add the chicken stock and the meatballs. Reduce the liquid by about half and allow the meatballs to cook through, 15 to 20 minutes, then stir in the butter and parsley. Serve.

CHICKEN MEATBALL TIKKA MASALA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the chicken, egg, bread crumbs, tomato paste, salt, pepper, garam masala, and 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro until well incorporated. Shape into meatballs about the size of a golf ball. Set a large skillet with high sides over medium-high heat with the ghee. Once hot, sear the meatballs in batches, for about 8 minutes, turning over halfway. Transfer to a plate and continue browning the rest of the meatballs. You don't need them to be fully cooked, just brown in color. They'll continue to cook later on.
• Add the remaining tablespoon ghee or oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add in the onion, garlic, and peppers and cook until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, spices, and tomato paste. Stir and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the tomato paste has darkened. Stir in the canned tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and stir in heavy cream and 3/4 cup cilantro.
• Place the meatballs into the sauce, lower the flame and simmer until the sauce has reduced slightly and thickened and the meatballs have fully cooked through, about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve the masala with cooked basmati rice and naan.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• In a large bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, milk and 1 tablespoon Marsala. Leave to soak for 5 minutes. Add the chicken, pecorino, egg, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper.

Broil for 5 minutes, or until the meatballs are beginning to brown and are just barely cooked through. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• In a straight-sided skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mushrooms are brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the shallots and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook for another 2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and stir in the flour and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the 1/3 cup Marsala and stir until the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the chicken broth and simmer for 5 minutes.
