Instructions

Prep
1
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch-thick half-moons.
  • Drain and rinse chickpeas. Pat dry with paper towels. 
  • Open one side of the package of crispy shallots. Using a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pot, crush crispy shallots in their package until broken into small crumbs (or finely chop if you prefer). 
Season zucchini
2
  • Add zucchini, half the Indian Spice Mix and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. 
  • Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. 
Form and roast meatballs
3
  • Add ginger-garlic puree, half the shallots (use all for 4 ppl), remaining Indian Spice Mix and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to a medium bowl. 
  • Crumble in beef. Season with pepper, then combine. 
  • Using wet or oiled hands, form beef mixture into 8 (16) equal meatballs. 
  • Transfer meatballs to other side of baking sheet with zucchini. Roast in the top of the oven until zucchini is tender and meatballs are cooked through, 12-14 min.**
Season yogurt and radishes
4
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice radishes.
  • Finely chop cilantro. 
  • Add radishes, half the cilantro and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then combine. 
  • In another bowl, add yogurt and remaining cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, then combine. (TIP: Add a pinch of sugar to the yogurt, if you like.)
Cook chickpeas and glaze meatballs
5
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chickpeas. Cook, tossing often, until golden in spots, 5-7 min. 
  • Remove from heat, then transfer chickpeas to a bowl. Cover to keep warm. 
  • When meatballs are done, add half the mango chutney (use all for 4 ppl) and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water to the same pan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, 1 min.
  • Add meatballs, then toss to coat. 
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide chickpeas and zucchini between plates. 
  • Top with meatballs and any remaining glaze in the pan. 
  • Dollop cilantro yogurt top.
  • Serve radishes alongside or over top.
