by Editorial Staff

An original chicken fillet dish that combines all tastes, including sweet. Spicy meatballs are served with a sauce of olive oil, lime juice, hot pepper and ginger. Use less chili to reduce the spiciness of the meatballs.

Cook: 1 hour
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • Dried apricots – ½ cup
  • Honey – 1 tbsp
  • Brandy- 3 tbsp
  • Chicken fillet, cut into pieces – 800 g
  • Nuts (macadamia or hazelnuts) – ½ cup
  • Long-grain rice, boiled – ½ cup
  • Garlic, finely chopped – 2 cloves
  • Sage leaves, finely chopped – 2 tbsp
  • Basil leaves, finely chopped – 1 tbsp
  • Parsley leaves, finely chopped – 1 tbsp
  • Red chili pepper, spicy, seeded and finely chopped – 2 pcs.
  • Large egg – 1 pc.
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Black pepper, ground
  • For the sauce:
  • Juice of 4 limes
  • Olive oil – 2 tbsp
  • Red chili pepper, spicy, seeded and finely chopped – 2 pcs.
  • Fresh ginger, finely chopped – 1 tbsp
  • Green onions
  • Watercress

Directions

  1. Combine apricots, honey and brandy in a saucepan. Place on moderate heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook for 5-10 minutes to absorb liquid. Cool slightly and cut the apricots into small pieces.
  2. Grind the chicken fillet (15-20 seconds), but do not turn it into a paste. Combine minced chicken with apricots, nuts, rice, garlic, herbs, chili and egg. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Form small meatballs about the size of a walnut.
  3. Heat oil in a deep skillet. Fry meatballs in portions for 5-10 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Make the sauce. To do this, combine lime juice, olive oil, chili and ginger in a jar. Close the jar tightly with a lid and mix the contents well. Sprinkle the meatballs with sauce, sprinkle with chopped green onions and garnish with watercress.
