Chicken Heart Tuna Meatballs - With Oven Baked Broccoli
These chicken heart tuna meatballs are a delicious and extremely nutritious alternative to standard meatballs with ground beef. This preparation method is a great way to disguise the chicken hearts and get yourself and potentially your children, too, to eat this healthy meat if you are not familiar with it yet.
First, mince the chicken hearts and onion in a food processor for about 10 seconds on a high speed
Next, add the remaining ingredients for the meatballs, including seasonings and mince for another 20-30 seconds until it is a homogenous mixture
Preheat a pan with about 30 gram coconut oil, lard or whatever you prefer to medium heat
Use a tablespoon and your other hand to form the meatballs from the mixture and place them in the pan
Turn down the heat to low, put a lid on the pan and fry the meatballs slowly for about 10 minutes, until they start to become solid on the top, too
Now, you can flip and slowly fry them with the lid on for another 5-10 minutes
Finally, set the heat to medium-high and fry the meatballs as evenly as possible from all sides, for about 5 minutes, in order to get a nice brown colour and roasting flavors
Broccoli
While the meatballs are frying, you can easily prepare some oven baked broccoli as a side dish.
First, set your oven to 180°C-200°C.
Put the broccoli on a baking tray which goes into the oven. After 5-10 minutes, the broccoli should be thawed and you can sprinkle some salt on top.
Finally, bake it for another 20-25 minutes until it starts to become dark brown on the top and has a slight crispiness.
Recipe Notes
As you can see on the picture I made a creamy sauce to go with everything, too. If you want to know how to make it check out this asparagus cream sauce recipe.
Spicy Lemon Marinated Pork Chop - With Buttered Vegetables
This spicy lemon marinated pork chop is very easy to cook and tastes delicious. The marinade consists of olive oil, lemon juice, tamari sauce and sichuan pepper among some other spices. Perfect for a barbecue or just frying the meat in a pan.
First, you need to prepare the marinated pork about 12-24 hours before you want to cook it.
Optimally, you do this the previous evening if possible
Put the pork chops into a zip lock bag or a container and add all the ingredients for the marinade.
Massage everything into the meat and store it in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
Always close your zip lock bag or container thoroughly before putting it into the fridge
When this waiting period is over, preheat your pan with some lard or coconut oil in it to medium heat
Finally, fry your pork chops for 5-7 minutes on each side until they get a nice brown color
Buttered Vegetables
Before you put the pork chops into the pan, thaw the vegetables in the microwave or just throw them into a pot with just about 50 milliliter of water
Then, add the butter and seasonings, put the lid on and let it cook for about 15 minutes at low-medium heat while stiring occasionally
Now, the pork chops and vegetables should be both finished and you may pour some of the grease from the pan over the vegetables
Recipe Notes
Never pour raw, leftover marinade over the cooked meat.
If you want to use the leftover marinade, make sure to boil it up to kill all harmful bacteria.
Don't marinate in aluminum containers or foil, because a chemical reaction could spoil the food.
The best way to marinate the meat is using the zip lock bag in order for it to be evenly surrounded by the marinade.
For 500 gram of meat, you need about half a cup of marinade.
