Preparation

Step 1

Place the meatballs and peppers in the ActiFry pan.

Whisk 250 m/9 fl oz apple juice with the tomato ketchup, mustard, maple syrup, cider vinegar, onion and garlic. Add to the ActiFry pan. Cook for 15 minutes.

Whisk the cornflour with the remaining apple juice. Add to the ActiFry pan. Cook for 10 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through and sauce is thickened. Sprinkle with coriander (if using); serve over rice (if using).


*Chef Recommendations:*
For a tropical version, stir in 250 ml/9 fl oz drained pineapple chunks when adding the peppers.

For a crowd-pleasing appetizer, omit the peppers and serve the saucy meatballs with toothpicks.
