Greek Inspired Chicken Meatballs Bowl

This chicken meatballs bowl has become something of a fixture in our kitchen lately - the kind of recipe that earns its place in the rotation not through novelty, but through sheer reliability. It keeps me full for hours, which is the real marker of a good meal (flavour is non-negotiable, but staying power is what actually gets you through an afternoon), and it tastes far more indulgent than the effort involved would suggest. The trick is in the batching: meal-prep the meatballs and peppers once, and the rest of the week comes together in the time it takes to boil a kettle.

Ingredients

Makes 10-12 meatballs

Ingredients:

For the meatballs

• 400g organic chicken mince

• 1 organic egg

• 1/2 cup grated parmesan

• 1/2 cup ground almonds

• 2 tbsp dried herbs de Provence

• An handful of chopped basil

• Salt & pepper to taste

For the tzatziki sauce:

• 1 cup greek yogurt or coconut yogurt

• 1/2 cucumber

• An handful of chopped parsley

• The juice of 1/2 lemon

• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• 1 clove of garlic - grated

• Salt & pepper to taste

For the rest of the bowl:

• 2 red bell peppers

• Cooked grains of your choice - I used quinoa

• A couple of spring onions - finely chopped

Method

1. Start by cooking the peppers. Cut them in half + remove stalks and seeds. Place

   them on a biking tray faced down and drizzle with some olive oil and salt.

2. Roast them in the oven for 30-35 minutes until soft. Remove and let them cool

   down. Using your hands peel off the skin and slice them into strips.

3. To make the meatballs add all the ingredients into a large bowl and using a fork mix

   well.

4. Shape the mixture into small balls. If the mixture feels a bit wet that’s totally normal.

5. Heat up some olive oil in a large frying pan. Once hot add in all the meatballs in a

   single row.

6. Cook the meatballs on each side for 3-4 minutes. If you are not sure they are cooked through you can also transfer them to the oven for 10-15 minutes.

7. To make the tzatziki sauce simply mix all the ingredients into a bowl until, well combined.

8. Serve the meatballs with the roasted peppers, quinoa, yogurt sauce and cooked grain of your choice.
