Donna Hay’s chicken maracas


The recipe for this is in storage, but the general principle is to mould the meatball of your choice around a paddlepop/lolly stick to form a maraca. It’s such a clever idea. Makes them very easy for the kids to pick up and eat. I will be making a lamb version this Friday for a road trip, so will add some mint to the recipe below.

500g of mince

Small onion, finely diced or grated

Mushrooms, finely diced

1 zucchini, grated

1 carrot, grated

A small tin of creamed corn

1 egg

Breadcrumbs

Combine all of the ingredients except for the breadcrumbs in a bowl. Add breadcrumbs until the texture of the mixture takes a form that will hold to the stick.

Mould to whatever size takes your fancy, then pan fry them.Or grill. Or roast. You choose.
