Ingredients

Method
  • 500 g chicken mince
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1 t ground nutmeg
  • 1 t ground cinnamon
  • 1 t ground coriander
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

To make the tabbouleh:
Add the remaining olive oil to the rest of the ingredients (except the sweet-chilli sauce) and toss to combine, pouring in more red-wine vinegar and adding more seasoning, if necessary.
