CAJUN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Put the butter in a pan over a low heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring all the time to make a roux. Cook until the roux is hazelnut brown in colour - make sure that it doesn't burn. Tip in the vegetables, garlic and bay leaf, stir briefly, then pour in the tomatoes and 1½ cans of water. Crumble in the stock cube, add the hot sauce, then cover and cook for 15 mins, stirring occasionally, while you make the meatballs.
• Work the spice and some seasoning into the turkey mince. Try not to over-handle or it will toughen. Shape into 20 meatballs.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan and quickly brown the meatballs in batches until they are nicely coloured on all sides.
• Stir the sauce, then drop in the meatballs and cook on a low heat for 10 mins until the turkey is cooked through. Scatter over the spring onions and coriander, and serve with some rice or mash.

SPICY TURKEY ANDOUILLE MEATBALLS AND SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Add the Italian sausage, andouille sausage, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning and egg to a medium bowl and mix together using your hands until well combined. Form the mixture into small to medium meatballs (about 1 1/2 tablespoons each; 16 total meatballs) and set aside on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Add the olive oil to a large pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs in batches, turning them over on all sides to make sure they are browned but not completely cooked through, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add more olive oil if needed to cook all the meatballs.
• As the meatballs cook, boil the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
• Once the meatballs are browned, add them all back to the pan and pour in the pasta sauce. Add the reserved pasta water, then cover, bring to a simmer and cook until the meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Either toss the cooked spaghetti into the sauce or spoon the sauce and meatballs over the cooked spaghetti. Garnish with Parmesan and parsley if desired and serve.

Steps:

• Add saffron with soaking water, cumin, red-pepper flakes and cinnamon stick. Crush tomatoes with your hands, and add to pot, along with all tomato juices. Raise heat to medium-high, add broth and bring to a simmer. Taste and add more salt or red-pepper flakes as needed. Carefully add meatballs and adjust heat to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 30 minutes.
• Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add chickpeas and a splash of water and heat through. Season to taste with salt. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve each diner 5 or 6 meatballs and plenty of gravy. Add a large spoonful of chickpeas on the side.
