Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 400 grams button, cup or flat mushrooms
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 bunch coriander, small bunch
  • 3 green onions (spring onions/shallots), roughly chopped
  • 400 grams chicken mince
  • 2 tablespoons thai red curry paste
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • Iceberg lettuce leaves, sweet chili sauce & lime wedges, to serve (optional)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Finely chop the mushrooms by hand or pulse in a food processor to finely chop.

  • Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat then add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for 8 minutes or until all moisture has evaporated.

  • Step 3: Set the mushrooms aside to cool for 10 minutes after this time drain off any excess moisture and transfer mushrooms to a bowl. Wipe the pan clean for use again.

  • Step 4: Clean and cut two roots from coriander and place roots into a food processor, add green onions and 1 cup coriander leaves; pulse until finely chopped.

  • Step 5: Add the coriander mixture, mince, curry paste, egg and breadcrumbs to mushrooms & mix until well combined.

  • Step 6: Shape 1 tablespoon of mixture into balls with damp hands. Place onto a tray, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour if time permits (this will help to hold meatballs together when cooking). You can make the meatballs larger but this will give you less serves.

  • Step 7: Heat the remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and cook the meatballs, in batches, shaking pan often, for 8-10 minutes or until just cooked through.

  • Step 8: Serve with or on lettuce leaves or lettuce cups with the sweet chili sauce and lime wedges
