Simple, unusual, and tasty! You can make these into balls, as an appetizer, or into patties as part of a meal. As a main course, it can serve 2. This a tried-and-true recipe, for all it sounds somewhat unusal. I really like this dish. Very yummy! Ingredients:
1/2 lb ground chicken or 1/2 lb ground turkey |
1/3 cup pistachio nut, chopped |
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs |
1 tablespoon lemon, zest of, grated |
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander |
1 tablespoon mint, chopped |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 dashes pepper |
1 egg, beaten |
1/4 cup flour |
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt |
3 tablespoons mango chutney |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
salt |
pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. Mix the chicken, nuts, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, coriander, mint, salt and pepper, and egg in a mixing bowl.
2. Form the mixture into balls or patties and dredge in flour to lightly coat.
3. Heat oil in large frypan and gently cook the chicken balls/patties, turning carefully, until golden.
4. (For appetizers: serve on a plate with toothpicks.) For the sauce: Mix together the yogurt, chutney, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste; serve on the side as a dipper.
5. You can also make a sauce with the yogurt, 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serves 2 as a main course; a nice rice salad or pilaf is a good accompaniment.
