CHICKEN MEATBALLS WITH RED SAUCE (BENIN) RECIPE - FOOD.COM
I used this recipe for week 29 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Benin is my 29th stop. Please note that I never use any recipe for my blog that I'm not reasonably sure is from authentic or traditional sources, and this recipe has been posted without any alternations or additions to the ingredients. I've always liked chicken with peanuts, and this recipe is definitely the best of both worlds.

Steps:
- Take about half of the peanut butter and mix it with a little bit of hot water. It should still be a paste, but it should be just thin enough so you can stir it. Set aside.
- Take the remaining peanut butter, the chicken, the habanero, the green onions and salt and put them in a food processor. Pulse until smooth.
- Shape the mixture into meatballs.
- Chop the blanched tomatoes and the onions and toss them with the peanut butter/water paste.
- Melt the palm oil in a pan and fry the meatballs in the palm oil until they are nicely golden all over.
- Add the onion, tomato and peanut butter mixture. Cover the pan and reduce the temperature to low. Simmer for 15 minutes or so, then remove the lid and check the internal temperature of the meatballs (they should be at 165 degrees or higher).

CHICKEN MEATBALLS IN FRESH TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE | GOOD FOOD
While not for Italian traditionalists, these chicken meatballs make a great family meal, either served with vegetables or tossed through pasta. They can also be served as a canapé — make them half as big and serve with the tomato sauce in a bowl for dipping.

Steps:
1. Place the chicken, olives, oregano, parsley, garlic, parmesan, breadcrumbs, egg, sea salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until well combined.
2. Wet your hands to prevent the mixture sticking to them. Roll heaped tablespoons of the mixture into balls, place on a greased baking tray and refrigerate while making the sauce.
3. Meanwhile, to make the fresh tomato sauce, use a small sharp knife to cut the core out of the top of each tomato. Plunge the tomatoes into a saucepan of boiling water for 15 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to remove the tomatoes from the pan and transfer to a bowl of iced water. Pinch the skin between your thumb and a paring knife to peel it off in strips. Roughly chop the peeled tomatoes (reserving any juice) and set aside. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic for 8 minutes or until softened and just beginning to colour. Add the wine and boil until it has mostly evaporated. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2–3 minutes, then add the chopped tomatoes and any reserved juice. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until reduced to a good sauce consistency. Add the vinegar, and the sea salt and sugar to taste. You are looking to balance the flavours — this can vary depending on the ripeness of the tomatoes. Set aside.
4. Heat half the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook half the meatballs, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the meatballs to the pan with the tomato sauce. Add the remaining oil to the frying pan and repeat with the remaining meatballs. Reheat the sauce with the meatballs over medium heat until just simmering. Gently stir through the oregano and serve.
