Cooking steps
1
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Rinse the rice to remove excess starch. Pour 300ml cold salted water (per 2P) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil. Once boiling, lower heat to medium, cover with the lid and cook for 12 mins.
- Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat.
- Keep covered for another 12 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
2
- Add mince, breadcrumbs, 2 tbsp water (per 2P), ¼ tsp salt (per 2P) and half the Thai spice mix to a large bowl.
- Season with pepper and mix together by hand.
- Roll into evenly-sized balls, 3-4 per person.
- Pop the meatballs onto a lined baking tray. Bake on the top shelf until cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
3
- Trim and halve the green beans.
- Halve the chilli and discard the core and seeds. Finely chop.
- Zest then quarter the lime.
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
4
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the green beans until starting to char, 2-3 mins.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the red Thai paste, remaining Thai spice mix and chilli (use less if you don't like spice).
- Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 min.
5
- Add the passata, the juice of two lime wedges (per 2P), half the coriander and 150ml water (per 2P). Stir to combine and simmer for 5-6 mins.
- Once cooked, add the meatballs to the pan.
- Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
- Stir the lime zest through the rice, fluffing it up as you go.
TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce is too thick.
6
- Spoon the green beans and Thai style turkey meatballs into bowls.
- Garnish with the remaining coriander.
- Divide the lime rice between bowls and serve alongside.
- Serve with remaining lime wedges for squeezing over.
