I have been asked for a meatball recipe by Shazzie and I could have sent her to look here at the pasta and meatball recipe, or here for my kefta tagine recipe, but instead I decided to do a whole new recipe for her.
© thai inspired lamb meatballs
ingredients:
500g lamb mince
1 tablespoon oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon sambal oelek
1 teaspoon crushed ginger
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 handful fresh coriander roughly chopped
1 egg lightly beaten
flour for shaping
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tin coconut milk
1 stalk lemongrass crushed
method:
heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion over a gentle heat until cooked
set aside to cool
once cool add the onions, sambal oelek, ginger, soy sauce, coriander and the egg to the mince
mix well
flour your hands and shape into balls
set aside the meatballs in the fridge to firm up for at least half an hour
heat the peanut oil in the pan you cooked the onions in and seal the meatballs
add the coconut milk and lemongrass and poach them for 10 – 15 minutes, depending on their size
I served mine with potato wedges
