Best Gourmet Meatballs Recipes
GOURMET SPICED CHICKEN MEATBALLS
I made these for the first time on the weekend and they were fabulous.The recipe is derived from 'delicious' magazine. They're actually far tastier than my orginal chicken meatballs (also on this site). I used far less oil than the recipe says - in fact I used spray oil which worked fine - so vary to your own needs. I also didn't have any fresh chilli, so threw in some dried chilli flakes - also worked fine. I had mine with just the stock, however my husband wanted a bit more 'substance' and so I stirred through some home-made napoli sauce for him.
