Begin by cooking the quinoa. Rinse and strain the quinoa and place it into a small saucepan with six tablespoons of water
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid until all the water has been absorbed
In a large bowl, add in the chicken mince, egg, finely chopped shallot and garlic, parsley and tapioca starch. Mix to combine
Once the quinoa has cooled slightly, mix that through as well
Begin rolling the mixture into balls and seal them in a hot fry pan on each side until golden
Remove from the pan and set aside
To make the sauce, peel and dice the onion and garlic
Preheat a pan over a medium heat and add in the olive oil
Once hot add in the onion and garlic and cook until soft
Add in the miso and stir
Pour in the diced tomatoes and water or broth
Add the meatballs back into the sauce and bring to a simmer to allow the meatballs to continue to cook
