Chicken meatballs in black sesame

4 servings

20 minutes

Chicken meatballs in black sesame are a refined dish of European cuisine, where the classic combination of chicken fillet and spices gains new texture and aroma thanks to the enveloping layer of black sesame. Historically, sesame has been used in Asian cuisines, but its delicate nutty flavor wonderfully complements European recipes. Apple adds a light sweetness and freshness, balancing the richness of the meat, while semolina makes the meatballs soft and tender. Steamed, they remain juicy and preserve their natural flavor nuances. These meatballs are perfect for diet meals, weekday lunches, or as an original appetizer for festive tables. They can be paired with a vegetable side dish or a light sauce that highlights their sophistication.
