CHICKEN MEATBALLS WITH QUINOA & CURRIED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• For the meatballs, mix together all the ingredients in a bowl with some seasoning. Form into six balls and chill in the fridge for 20 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Wash the quinoa and put it in a saucepan with 100ml water. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 mins or until doubled in size and tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
• Put the cauliflower and sweet potato in a roasting tin and toss in the oil and curry powder. Put the meatballs in a separate tin. Cook both in the oven for 15 mins or until cooked through.
• Mix the quinoa with the cauliflower, sweet potato, pistachios and sultanas, squeeze over the lime juice, then serve with the meatballs.

QUINOA AND GROUND TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray a little nonstick spray on it.
• Mix water and chia seeds together in a bowl to soak; set aside for 15 minutes. Stir after a few minutes to make sure all of the chia seeds are soaking up the water.
• Finely chop onions, carrots, celery, spinach, and garlic in a food processor.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté vegetable mixture over medium heat until softened, about 8 minutes. Set it aside and let it cool a bit before mixing with other ingredients, about 10 minutes.
• Mix turkey, quinoa, eggs, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the chia seed and water mixture (it should be sort of firm, almost like gelatin). Mix in the cooled vegetable mixture.
• Shape turkey mixture into 48 meatballs and place onto the prepared pan. Brush with ketchup.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
