• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs, turning regularly, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Remove pan from heat, then add onion chutney and a splash of water. Gently toss meatballs to coat. • While the meatballs are cooking, combine mixed salad leaves, celery, carrot and tomato in a medium bowl. Add a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Toss to coat, then season to taste.

TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before cooking the sauce.
