Sausage fricadelle with chicken, apples and sage

Portions:
4
Preparation:
5 min.
Cooking:
15 min.

Ingredients

  • 454 g (1 lb) ground chicken, raw
  • 1 apple
  • 250 ml (1 cup) onions, thinly sliced
  • 30 ml (2 tablespoons) fresh sage or 10 ml (2 teaspoons) sage, dried
  • 1.25 ml (1/4 teaspoon) allspice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2.5 ml (1/2 teaspoon) salt
  • 5 ml (1 teaspoon) pepper
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

Preparation

  1. Grate the apple, without removing the skin, and mix with the onion, sage, allspice, garlic, salt, pepper and beaten egg in a large bowl. Add the chopped chicken and mix well.
  2. Shape into eight 1.2 cm (½ in.) thick fricadelles. To facilitate cooking, refrigerate the fricadelles, covered with wax paper, for at least 2 hours, or overnight. This will help them retain their shape.
  3. Cook fricadelles in a non-stick pan for approx. 6 minutes on each side. Alternatively, heat up the barbecue, place the fricadelles on a sheet of aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray and grill for approx. 6 minutes on each side at medium heat, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the chicken pieces registers 74°C (165°F).
