Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 x12 pack of Muscle Food Chicken Meatballs
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 2 tsp Curry Powder
  • 1 Garlic Clove crushed
  • 1 Red Pepper diced
  • 1 Yellow Pepper diced
  • Tin of Mixed Beans in Water drained
  • 1/2 Courgette diced
  • 500 g Passata
  • 450 ml Veg or Chicken Stock 300ml for dish, 150ml for couscous
  • 150 g Couscous
  • Fry Light

Method
 

  1. Spray some Fry Light in a pan and brown the meatballs. Once browned remove and set aside
  2. Spray some more Fry Light in the pan and add the onions, curry powder and garlic. Fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring well
  3. Add the peppers and courgettes and fry for another 2-3 minutes, stirring well
  4. Add the passata, beans and 300ml stock, bring to a simmer, scrapping the bottom of the pan to get all the meat flavour and spices mixed in
  5. Add the meatballs back in and simmer for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally. The liquid should reduce down to a thicker sauce
  6. Whilst the sauce is reducing make up your couscous by adding the remaining 150ml stock to the dried couscous, cover and let it sit until the water is absorbed. Fork it through to fluff it up
  7. Top the couscous with 3 meatballs and a pile of veggies and enjoy!

Notes

If you have some spare syns try adding a chopped up dried fig! Just the right amount of sweetness
Or topped with some flaked almonds!
