My Aunt Najet's Spiced and Coriander Chicken Meatballs

Ingredients

  • 3 free-range chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 pinch of chili pepper
  • 200 g stale bread
  • 1 onion
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 egg
  • 1 bunch of coriander
  • peanut oil for cooking

Preparation

  1. Blend the chicken breasts with the spices and a pinch of salt until smooth. Set aside.

  2. Soak stale bread in a little water to soften it, then drain it well to remove as much water as possible.

  3. Peel the onion and cut it into quarters. Peel and degerm the garlic clove. Mix them together.

  4. Pour a drizzle of oil into a saucepan. Cook the poultry stuffing over medium heat until the meat separates. The meat should not be colored, it should just separate. Leave to cool in a salad bowl. Then add the blended onion and garlic. Add the bread, finely chopped fresh coriander, then the egg. Mix well.

  5. Form 4 cm (about 40 g) balls with your hands, they should be a little thick. In a hot frying pan, brown them for 2 to 3 minutes per side in a little oil. Enjoy them hot, accompanied by couscous and/or the sauce of your choice.
