Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- For the Meatballs:
- 500g minced beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried chili flakes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- For the Coconut Broth:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- For the Meatballs:
Preparation Process:
- Prepare the Meatballs:
- In a hot pan, sauté the finely chopped onions and garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil until softened. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the minced beef, breadcrumbs, milk, sautéed onions, garlic, and chili flakes. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form the mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs, ensuring they are tightly packed to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.
- Cook the Meatballs:
- In the same pan, add a bit more olive oil and heat it. Gently place the meatballs in the pan, browning them on all sides while keeping them soft and rich in the center.
- Add the cumin seeds and sliced ginger to the pan, allowing their flavors to infuse the meatballs.
- Prepare the Coconut Broth:
- Pour the chicken stock into the pan and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and add the coconut milk.
- Simmer the meatballs in the coconut broth for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meatballs to cook through.
- Finish and Serve:
- Zest the lime over the meatballs and squeeze in the fresh lime juice. Stir gently to incorporate.
- Serve the meatballs generously with the fragrant coconut broth, ensuring each plate gets a good amount of the rich, creamy sauce.
