Ingredients
- 75g lean minced beef
- 1 x tablespoon finely chopped coriander
- 20g fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 x small egg, lightly beaten
- Olive oil, for frying
- 1 x black olive
- Some mozzarella to decorate
- Some cooked carrot to decorate
Method
- Place the mince, coriander + breadcrumbs in a bowl and stir until combined. Add enough of the beaten egg to bind everything together (you won’t need it all). Divide the mixture into 6 walnut sized pieces + shape into meatballs. Transfer to a plate, cover with clingfilm + chill for 20 minutes to firm up slightly
- Heat enough oil to coat the base of a large, nonstick frying pan + cook the meatballs in 2 batches each for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned all over + cooked through
- Cook one ball of dried tagliatelle, then divide it into three ‘nests’ on a plate
- Pop your meatball chick into the nest
- Top with mozzarella + cut olives for eyes and cooked carrot for the beak + enjoy!
