Tracey has a wonderful recipe for Thai Chicken Meat Balls. They're a favourite in our house! I'll see if I can find it!
I made some hamburgers the other day with chicken mince.
Mixed it with a bit of red curry paste, egg, corriander, couscous (instead of breadcrumbs cos I had some leftover), shallots. Shaped it into patties and served it with salad and sweet chilli sauce in Turkish bread. Easy and yum!
Chicken Pastitsio is one of the faves in this house :D
