كرات اللحم باللوز والشمر مع معكرونة الحمص اللذيذة
Italian 10 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook
- For the meatballs, heat the oil in a large frying pan.
- Lightly toast the crushed fennel seeds, add the chopped leeks and minced garlic and sauté until the leeks are cooked.
- Fry the finely ground almonds until toasted. Season, then pour into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the lamb mince, egg and lemon zest to the almond mixture. Mix until everything is incorporated.
- Form small, 30g balls and set aside.
- In a large frying pan, fry the meatballs and turn after 5 minutes.
- Once the meatballs are browned, pour in the coconut cream, water and mustard. Place a lid over the pan and simmer on a low heat for 10-15 minutes.
- To make the pasta, place the gram and tapioca flours, salt and xanthan gum in a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
- Crack in the eggs, add the olive oil and use your hands to gently incorporate the wet ingredients to form a dough. If the dough is too dry, add ½ tsp water at a time. The dough should be relatively stiff and not sticky. Roll the pasta dough into a ball and lightly flatten it into two disks.
- To roll out the pasta, take one piece of the dough and, using a rolling pin, roll out the dough enough to be able to fit it through a pasta machine. Generously dust the dough with the gram flour.
- Pass the dough through the pasta machine on setting 1, then fold it in half and pass it through again. Change the setting to 2 and pass it through. Continue this process until you reach setting 4.
- Generously dust a clean surface with a small amount of gram flour. Roll the pasta sheet up tightly then use a sharp knife to cut it into ribbons.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta for 3-4 minutes, or until al dente. Strain the pasta and toss the meatball mixture through it.
- Serve with the grated Parmesan, fennel leaves and toasted, chopped almonds.
