Spicy Green Chicken & Zucchini Meatballs

Recipe By Courtney Roulston

Ingredients

  • 500 g Coles chicken mince 

  • 1 medium zucchini, grated 

  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (panko or blitzed from day old sourdough) 

  • sea salt and black pepper to taste 

  • 2 tsp ground cumin 

  • 2 tsp ground coriander 

  • 2 tsp garam masala 

  • 4 tbs Coles coconut oil

  • 1 ½ brown onion, finely diced 

  • 1 tbs fresh ginger, grated 

  • 2 long green chilli, sliced, divided  

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced 

  • 2 large tomatoes

  • 4 bunches English spinach (you need lots for this recipe - 10 cups tightly packed) 

  • 1 lemon 

  • 1/3 cup cream 

  • ½ cup Jalna Greek yoghurt to serve 

  • ¼ cup flaked almonds, toasted 

    Optional: serve with steamed basmati rice or naan bread

Method

  • To make the meatballs, place the chicken mince into a mixing bowl. Add in the zucchini, breadcrumbs, salt, 1 tsp each of the cumin, coriander, and garam masala. Mix well then roll into meatballs around 2 tbs in size. 

  • Heat 1 tbs of coconut oil in a large high-sided frying pan. Cook the meatballs for 2-3 minutes each side until they are browned all over. Remove from the pan and set aside on a tray.

  • Place the same pan back onto a medium heat. Add in the remaining coconut oil and fry off the onions for 2 minutes. Add in the ginger, half the chilli and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes then add in the remaining cumin, coriander and garam masala. Toast the spices until they are fragrant, then deglaze the pan with tomato pulp, scrapping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

  • Add in ½ cup water and then add the spinach into the pan one handful at a time, stirring in between additions until all the spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper then cook for 5-6 minutes. Use a stick blender to blitz around half of the mixture, so you have some spinach with texture still in the pan.

  • Add the meatballs back into the pan and warm through for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cream and remove from the heat. Squeeze in 1 tbs of lemon juice and taste for balance, adding more lemon or seasoning if required.

  • Dollop over the yoghurt and some slices of green chilli. Garnish with almonds then serve with either steamed basmati rice or naan bread.

Fennel Crusted Swordfish with Grilled Radicchio and Grapefruit

Recipe By Andy Allen

Ingredients

  • 300 g loin piece of swordfish

  • 1 tbs toasted fennel seeds

  • zest of 1 lemon

  • 2 tbs Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

  • salt and pepper

  • 2 heads radicchio - quartered 

  • 1 grapefruit - peeled and diced

  • 10 Coles deli green olives - pitted and halved

  • 1 baby fennel - finely sliced

  • 1/4 cup toasted pistachios - roughly chopped

  • 1 handful parsley leaves 

  • 1 handful mint leaves

  • 2 tbs Coles red wine vinegar

  • 3 tbs Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

Method

  • For the fennel rub, slightly crush the fennel seeds in a mortar and pestle and then mix in the lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pour the marinade over the swordfish and leave to marinate for about an hour.

  • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees (C).

  • Place a griddle pan over a medium heat. Once hot, add the swordfish to the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side. You're just looking to set the fennel seeds on the flesh and slightly caramelise. Transfer the swordfish to a roasting tray and place it in the oven for about 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 38 degrees. Once you’ve removed the swordfish from the oven let it rest and the temperature should continue to rise to 45 degrees (C).

  • While the swordfish is in the oven, turn the heat up on the griddle pan to high and lay the quartered radicchio out on your chopping board. Drizzle with a decent amount of olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Transfer the radicchio to the hot griddle pan and cook for 2 minutes on both sides. Before they come off the pan, pour over the red wine vinegar.

  • Just before you carve the swordfish, cut the core from the radicchio and toss with the diced grapefruit, green olives, sliced fennel, pistachios, and herbs. Dress with a drizzle of olive oil, a touch more red wine vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the grilled radicchio salad to your serving bowl.

  • Carve the swordfish and serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a lemon cheek.
