Ingredients
- Red Onion: 1 red onion, halved and sliced
- Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- Yellow Pepper: 1 large yellow pepper, quartered, deseeded and diced
- Ground Cumin: 1 tsp ground cumin
- Chipotle: 2-3 tsp chipotle chilli paste
- Chicken Stock: 300ml reduced-salt chicken stock
- Cherry Tomato: 400g can cherry tomatoes
- Black Bean: 400g can black beans or red kidney beans, drained
- Avocado: 1 avocado, stoned, peeled and chopped
- Lime: juice 1/2 lime
- Turkey Breast Mince: 500g pack turkey breast mince
- Oats: 50g porridge oats
- Spring Onion: 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- Coriander: 1 tsp coriander
- Rapeseed Oil: 1 tsp rapeseed oil
Directions
- First make the meatballs. Tip the mince into a bowl, add the oats, spring onions, spices and the coriander stalks, then lightly knead the ingredients together until well mixed. Shape into 12 ping-pong- sized balls. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the meatballs and cook, turning them frequently, until golden. Remove from the pan.
- Tip the onion and garlic into the pan with the pepper and stir-fry until softened. Stir in the cumin and chilli paste, then pour in the stock. Return the meatballs to the pan and cook, covered, over a low heat for 10 mins. Stir in the tomatoes and beans, and cook, uncovered, for a few mins more. Toss the avocado chunks in the lime juice and serve the meatballs topped with the avocado and coriander leaves.
