Make these utterly delicious nibbles for your next cocktail party, when you want to offer something that's beyond the norm. These Spanish style sausage balls are made with chickpeas, cumin, and parsley, and you can use the Thermomix to prepare the chickpea mixture, though you'll need to fry the sausage meat first and the balls themselves after in a skillet. Coating the sausage balls in whisked egg and then breadcrumbs ensures they develop a delectable crisp and golden brown crust.
