Ingredients

Thai Curry Meatballs

  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic grated or finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped ginger could substitute 1 teaspoon dried ginger
  • 1 pound ground beef 85% lean (I get my beef from ButcherBox, which I highly recommend)
  • 1 pound ground pork 80% lean (I get my pork from ButcherBox, which I highly recommend)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup packed finely chopped fresh cilantro about 1/4 of a bunch of fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon dried curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Curry Sauce

  • 14- ounce can coconut cream
  • 1 tablespoon thai curry paste

Garnish

  • Chopped cilantro sliced green onions, half an avocado, red pepper flakes, sliced thai chiles, wedges of lime, etc

Serving

  • two 9-ounce packages of hearts of palm pasta code TASTESLOVELY for 15% off, drained and tossed in the sauce with + a handful of chopped spinach
  • serve alongside cauliflower rice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil (for easy clean up), and place the wire rimmed baking rack on top.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and chicken stock. Stir and set aside while it absorbs the liquid.
  • Heat a medium size skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, onions, garlic, ginger and a pinch of salt & pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and turning golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  • In the same large mixing bowl that has the almond flour and chicken stock, add the cooked onions & garlic, ground beef, ground pork, 2 eggs, cilantro, salt, pepper and curry powder. Use a spatula or hands to mix until completely combined.
  • Use a large cookie scoop (or measure out 3 tablespoons) to scoop out meatballs, and use hands to roll into balls. Place meatballs on wire baking sheet. Will make 24 meatballs.
  • Bake the meatballs in the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • When the meatballs are done baking, make the sauce. In a small sauce pan, combine the coconut milk and thai curry paste. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  • Serve immediately while warm, topped with the coconut thai curry sauce. Delicious on top of cauliflower rice or hearts of palm pasta.
  • Leftovers will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 5 days, or frozen for 6 months.

Notes

Meal Prep Instructions: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. HEATING: Either microwave until warm, about 3-5 minutes (I like to sprinkle in a little water to help it steam and prevent it from drying out). Or reheat in a 350ºF oven until warm, 10-15 minutes.
Freezing Instructions: Freeze the cooked meatballs in a freezer safe airtight container for at least 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat either in the microwave until warm, about 3-5 minutes, or reheat in the oven at 350ºF until warm, 10-15 minutes. I like to make the sauce fresh when the meatballs are reheated.
