Spicy Lamb Meatballs with Chickpeas in a Spicy Tomato Sauce


What a lovely few days of weather we are having lately. Summer is finally coming it would seem.

I threw this together in less than 15 minutes in an attempt to replicate to some degree Jamie Oliver 15 minute meal that we saw on TV over the weekend. I think I was close enough.

All I did here was empty a tin of drained chickpeas and a carton of passata into a pan and bring to a simmer with half a red chilli and couple of spring onions.

While they are simmering form meatballs from lamb mince mixed with Garam Masalla and fry them off. When they are done add them to the sauce.

I sprinkled chopped coriander on the sauce before serving but that was all I did.

I’m sure there was a salad in there somewhere when we watched the show but this was more than enough.

  1. that was pretty much it if I remember correctly! I’ve made this so many times but that was a while ago, think we had it too much at some point so we didn’t have it for years and then we forgot about it. we called it ‘chickpea stewie’ 🙂 I made the meatballs with beef cause we don’t like lamb, we put the meatballs on a skewer and served the whole thing with joghurt and pita bread.
