Meatballs and Peanut Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 lb minced beef
- 1 onion grated
- salt and pepper
- 2 oz fresh white breadcrumbs
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
- 1/4 pint natural yogurt
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- pinch of cayenne
- 1 teaspoon chopped parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Mix together the meat, onion, seasoning, breadcrumbs, egg and parsley. Form the mixture into 18 small balls the size of marbles and roll in the flour. Combine the oil and the crushed garlic and brush the mixture over the meatballs.
- Thread the meatballs on to oiled skewers and grill for 2 - 3 minutes, turn the skewers and grill for a further 2 - 3 minutes.
- Melt the peanut butter over a gentle heat, add the remaining ingredients and cook gently until hot, but do not let the sauce boil. Serve the meatballs on a bed of mixed salad.
- Serve the sauce separately, garnished with chopped parsley.
Cook's Tip
- A food processor 'minces' meat well. Use lean stewing or braising beef and cut into cubes before placing in machine. A mixture of beef and pork makes an interesting change.
