CHICKEN CURRY MEATBALLS

CHICKEN CURRY MEATBALLS











Red Curry Chicken Meatballs

Ingredients:

The Meatballs:

1 pound ground chicken

3 green onions, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

The Sauce:

2 Tablespoons sesame oil

2 shallots, finely chopped

2 red bell peppers, sliced

2 Tablespoons fresh ginger, grated

2 - 3 Tablespoons red curry paste

1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk

2 Tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

1 Tablespoon fish sauce

fresh chopped cilantro, for serving


Directions:

Combine the ground chicken, green onions, garlic and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Mix lightly to combine.

Roll into meatballs. Put the meatballs onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 450-degree F oven for about 15 minutes or until cooked through.

While the meatballs cook, heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, red bell pepper and ginger. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook, stirring, about 5 minutes.

Add the red curry paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute.

Pour in the coconut milk, soy sauce and fish sauce. Bring to a boil. Put the meatballs into the sauce and stir to coat.

Simmer until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Serve over Coconut Lime Cilantro Rice and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro


Notes:

Substituting ground turkey, pork, or even beef is acceptable, but why? Chicken is so much better for you, and it's usually a lot less expensive.

Red bell peppers are great, but you need more heat in your life. Add some red thai chili peppers to the sauce while it simmers.

How many peppers you add is up to you, but if it's less than four then you and I can't be friends.
