Golden Chicken Bites & Millet
with charred bell pepper & carrot
Here’s an interesting fact, Chef: Meatballs didn’t originate in Italy but in ancient Persia (in the form of lamb koftas). Today you will enjoy these mouthwatering mouthfuls in a combo of chicken mince, onion & ginger. These are accompanied by veggie-loaded millet and umami-fied with a soy & sesame oil drizzle.

MAKE THE Millet
Place the Millet in a pot over medium heat. Toast until fragrant, 1-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add 150ml of salted water and a drizzle of olive oil. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
COLOURFUL VEG
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced Onion, the pepper strips, and the Carrot strips until lightly charred, 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan, place in a bowl, and season.
FLAVOURBOMBS
In a separate bowl, combine the mince, the diced Onion (to taste), the grated Ginger, and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly and shape the mince mixture into 4-5 meatballs. Return the pan, wiped down if necessary, to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the meatballs until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan.
SOY GOOD
To the bowl with the charred veggies, mix in the fluffy Millet, the shredded green leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the sesame soy with 10ml of water.
