Recipe: Savoury Summer Chicken Balls

These moreish morsels are my own invention. Flavoured with tarragon, lemon and grainy mustard, they are good for cocktail parties, or can be tossed onto a salad, or into pasta with Napoli sauce. They also make a great meatball sandwich!

500gms chicken mince
1 egg, beaten
2 tblsp finely chopped Tarragon
4-6 finely chopped spring onions
2 teaspoons of grainy mustard
A dash of Worcestershire sauce
Grated rind & juice of a small lemon or lime
1/2 cup of fresh breadcrumbs and/or ground nuts (walnuts are particularly good in this mixture
1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Freshly ground pepper

Combine ingredients and roll teaspoon size portions into balls. You want mixture moist but not so sloppy it makes a huge mess when you roll the balls in flour to prevent sticking.

Either fry in hot oil for 2-3 mins or until brown or bake in the oven at 180'c-200'c for about 20 mins.

Makes 4 dozen small balls. Enjoy!
