A lovely Asian canapé that’s not too spicy, but is wonderfully aromatic with a lemongrass and coriander marinade for the chicken. Let everyone put the lettuce parcels together themselves.

Method

step 1

Mix the chicken, shallots, garlic, lemon grass, cornflour, coriander and fish sauce in a bowl with some black pepper.
step 2

Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. With lightly oiled hands, shape the mixture into 4cm meatballs. Roll each meatball in sugar and put on a baking tray lined with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, shaking the pan a couple of times to evenly coat with the sugary caramel.
step 3

To serve, put a meatball on a lettuce leaf and sprinkle with cucumber, coriander and chilli. Serve with a bowl of sweet chilli dipping sauce.
