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
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.
