Ingredients:

1 lb ground chicken
1 tsp paprika
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 oz (60 g) finely chopped chorizo
3 Tbsp dried bread crumbs
1 tsp salt
Little freshly ground black pepper
2 oz (60 g) chopped almonds
Olive oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (225 degrees C)

Mix the ground chicken, paprika, garlic, chorizo, dried bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Form the meat into small meatballs (about 24) and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake the meatballs for 12-15 minutes at 425 degrees F (225 degrees C).

Roast the chopped almonds in the olive oil until golden brown. Add the meatballs, turmeric, chopped garlic and white wine or sherry and bring to a boil. Add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve with pasta or small potatoes and green salad.
