Recipe of the Week

Each week we’ll bring you a tasty recipe passed down by Emanuel families, from the Emanuel School Community Cookbook, The Family Meal. 

From the Kitchen of Noah & Eve Revelman

Quinoa &and Turkey Meatballs

Ingredients

1 cup quinoa, rinsed and cooked
300g turkey mince
1 clove garlic
1 brown onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely grated
1 zucchini, finely grated
1 egg
Salt and pepper
Ghee or macadamia oil to fry
Large handful basil, finely chopped

Directions

If using a food processor, add everything except the egg, turkey and quinoa. 

Pulse until mixed and grated. Add in egg and turkey and mix gently to combine.

If you’re not using a food processor, chop everything finely and mix all ingredients together into a bowl.

Roll into teaspoon sized balls and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden, the flip and fry on the other side.

Serve with Spaghetti and tomato/pasta sauce. It’s fantastic with creamy cauliflower or potato mash, with sweet potato chips and steamed broccoli and sweet corn.

Variations:

Oregano or parsley can be used as well or instead of the basil. Adding a squeeze of lemon and some lemon rind also gives a lovely grown-up spin on these meatballs.

Makes 20
