Ingredients

Chicken meatballs

  • 600 g minced chicken
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, grated or crushed
  • 1 egg
  • 50 ml milk or cream
  • 2-3 tbsp porridge oats
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Butter, for frying

Sweetheart cabbage salad with creamy dressing

  • 1/2 sweetheart cabbage, finely shredded
  • 100 g sweetcorn, drained
  • 150 g frozen peas, defrosted
  • 1 apple, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 3 spring onions, sliced

Dressing

  • 100 ml crème fraîche, ideally low-fat (9%)
  • 2-3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

To serve

  • Bread
  • A few chopped pistachios (optional)

Instructions

  • Put all the ingredients for the meatballs in a bowl, season with salt and freshly ground pepper and mix the mince thoroughly. Leave the mixture to rest for 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for the dressing and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper - and a little more lemon juice if needed.
  • Put the cabbage, sweetcorn, peas, apple and spring onions in a bowl and toss well with the dressing. Chill the salad in the fridge.
  • Melt a generous knob of butter in a frying pan and let it foam up. Shape the mixture into meatballs: dip a spoon in hot water, scoop up a portion of the mixture and shape it into a meatball using the spoon and the palm of your hand.
  • Fry the meatballs until golden on both sides and cooked through in the middle – about 5 minutes on each side over a medium heat.
  • Serve the juicy meatballs with bread and the cabbage salad - scatter a few chopped pistachios and some spring onion over the top, if you like.
