Chicken Meatball Tom Kha Gai
Thai food is a huge love for me, this is a quick and easy chicken coconut soup 'Tom Kha Gai' packed full of flavour. This is a recipe I found in Olive magazine, but I've adapted it slightly. Completely gluten free and ready in under 30 minutes, can't really argue with that. These meatballs are made from sausages, so there's hardly and faffing and no waste. I hope you're enjoying all of these gluten free recipes this week? I'd love some feedback of what you would like more of on the blog, remember you can tweet me or send me a direct message on Instagram.
