I got this from a work mate who got it from a newpaper. It's quick and easy and good! In the photo, I used toasted pinenuts which worked well as a substitution for the almonds. Ingredients:
500 g ground chicken |
1 egg, beaten |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil |
1/3 cup breadcrumbs |
1 tablespoon oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 cup ready-made pasta sauce |
1/4 cup white wine |
1/4 cup cream |
2 tablespoons sliced almonds or 2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Combine mince, egg, basil and breadcrumbs and mix well.
2. Divide mixture into 12 portions and roll into balls.
3. Heat oil and butter in a frypan and fry chicken balls until well browned on all sides.
4. Allow to cook through (about 8 minutes) While cooking the chicken, combine pasta sauce, and wine and simmer for about 10 minutes to recuce by 1/3.
5. Add cream.
6. Divide sauce among 4 plates, top with meatballs, and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
