Ingredients:

For the Meatballs:

• 150g turkey mince (one portion, 3 patties)

• 50g raw prawns

• 1 tsp fresh grated ginger

• Pinch salt

• 1/2 lime

For the Sweet Potato Hash:

• 1/2 sweet potato (I used white-flesh, but It can be substituted for any potato)

• 1 tbsp cassava flour (I am GF, but this can be substituted for any flour)

• 1 tbsp olive oil (plus a drizzle extra for frying)

• 2 spring onions

• Pinch salt

I paired with mixed salad leaves but this is optional!

Method:

1. Make the meatballs

   1. Roughly chop the prawns; you want varied texture, so be sure to leave some chunks whilst the rest can be smaller.

   2. Combine with the turkey mince in a bowl and add the grated ginger and salt.

   3. Shape into meatballs and add to a frying pan over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through.

2. Prepare the Sweet Potato Hash

   1. Grate 1/2 a sweet potato and add to a bowl with cassava flour, chopped spring onions, a pinch of salt and olive oil. Combine - This is best done with your hands!

   2. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan over medium heat, press the mixture into the pan until flat and covering the surface. Cook for 3-4 minutes each side until crisp and golden.

Serving Suggestions:

3. Plate up with mixed salad leaves and squeeze plenty of fresh lime over the meatballs.

4. Enjoy!
