Ingredients:

1 slice wholemeal bread, crusts removed, torn
41.20 gm milk
500g chicken mince
1 egg white
82.50 ml dried breadcrumbs
1 tsp coriander
2.50 gm sweet paprika
2.50 gm ground cumin
2.50 gm ground ginger
1 brown onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil

57.20 gm honey
2 zucchini, halved, thickly sliced
165.00 ml frozen peas

Instructions:

Combine the bread and milk in a large bowl and let it stand for 10 minutes.
Combine mince, egg white, breadcrumbs, ground coriander, sweet paprika, cumin, ground ginger, half of the onion, half of the garlic, salt, and pepper with the bread mixture. Mix thoroughly and shape mixture into small balls using level tablespoons.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm oil. Brown meatballs in 2 batches, turning occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Transfer to a slow cooker.
Sauté the rest of the onion and garlic in the pan until the onion softens. Mix in tomato paste, passata, honey, and 1/2 cup water. Transfer everything to the slow cooker, adding the zucchini. Simmer on low for 4 hours until the meatballs are tender and fully cooked.
Add the peas and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then plate the meatballs with couscous, yogurt, and fresh coriander.
