Thai Pork and Mushroom Meatballs


Serves 4

Ingredients
     400g Button, Cup or Flat Mushrooms
    3 green onions, roughly chopped
    3 tbs vegetable oil
    2 tbs coriander paste or lightly dried coriander
    400g pork mince
    2 tbs red curry paste
    1 egg
    1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
    Vegetable oil, for cooking
    Iceberg lettuce, sweet chilli sauce and lime wedges, to serve

Method

  • Finely chop mushrooms by hand or alternatively, pulse in a food processor
  • Heat 1 tbs oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, for 8 minutes or until all moisture has evaporated. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Drain any excess moisture and transfer mushrooms to a bowl. Wipe pan clean
  • Add coriander paste to the mushrooms with the mince, curry paste, egg and breadcrumbs, mix until well combined
  • Shape into balls with damp hands. Place onto a tray, cover and refrigerate 1 hour if time permits (this helps hold meatballs together when cooking)
  • Heat remaining oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook meatballs, in batches for 8-10 min, shaking pan often or until just cooked through. Serve with lettuce leaves, sweet chilli sauce and lime wedges

MATT PRESTON'S SERIOUSLY STICKY COCA-COLA CHICKEN WINGS

INGREDIENTS 1 cup brown sugar 3 cups cola (I used Coca-Cola), plus extra if needed 4 cloves garlic, crushed 1 large onion, grated 2 lemons, juiced ¼ cup light soy sauce 1kg chicken wings (cut into wingette and drumettes) METHOD 1 Preheat oven to 150C. Combine all the ingredients, apart from the wings in a non-reactive roasting dish or baking pan. 2 Add the wing pieces and add extra cola until the wings are largely submerged. Roast for 3 ½ hours, turning every 45 minutes or so, or until the wings are very tender and the sauce is sticky. But watch them, because they can get too dark too quickly at the end, given the amount of sugar in the cooking liquid.; https://www.delicious.com.au/recipes/coca-cola-chicken-wings/ab2cd773-b0f7-4204-b561-31831ca249c9?current_section=recipes
