Tip
My kids love these as chicken nuggets for a snack, lunchboxes, or with mash and veg for dinner.
They also work beautifully when heated in a tomato passata and served with pasta for a hearty family meal.
I use fresh chicken for mincing as these freeze well for later.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Comments
How did you go with the finished recipe? I definitely didn't need to add anything to make the mixture spoonable - but yes, it is wet mixture, I think that's why the meatballs end up staying moist?
the mixture is extremely wet, totally unable to be rolled -it's more of a soup! I had to add nearly a cup of flour just to be able to spoon it out. Not impressed at all. Will see how they taste when it comes out of the oven. Maybe the zucchini shouldn't be chopped so fine and the juice squeezed out of it.
