Spicy Meatballs with Chilli Black Beans

by BBC Good Food

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

First make the meatballs. Tip the mince into a bowl, add the oats, spring onions, spices and the chopped coriander stalks, then lightly knead the ingredients together until well mixed. Shape into 12 ping-pong- sized balls (a wet hand while doing this will help prevent the meat sticking to you). Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan, add the meatballs and cook, turning them frequently, until golden. Remove from the pan.

Step 2

Tip the onion and garlic into the pan with the pepper and stir-fry until softened. Stir in the cumin and chilli paste, then pour in the stock. Return the meatballs to the pan and cook, covered, over a low heat for 10 mins. Stir in the tomatoes and drained beans, and cook, uncovered, for a few mins more. Toss the avocado chunks in the lime juice and serve the meatballs topped with the avocado and coriander leaves.
