THAI-STYLE MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Season the ground pork with some salt and pepper and shape into 12 to 16 meatballs.
• Put the chile, garlic, green parts of the spring onions, coriander stalks and a splash of water into the bowl of a mini food processor and blitz until you have a smooth paste.
• Heat a little of the oil in a frying pan over a high heat, and fry the meatballs until brown all over. Remove from the pan and set aside, then add the rest of the oil and fry the green paste for 2 to 3 minutes until aromatic. Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer.
• Return the meatballs to the pan and add the broccolini and sugar snap peas. Season with the soy and fish sauces and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the meatballs are cooked through. Serve scattered with cilantro leaves and the white parts of the spring onions.
