Description
A meatball recipe that will add extra zest and flavor to a game day menu.
Ingredients
- ½ pounds Ground Beef
- ½ pounds Ground Pork
- 1 teaspoon Red Curry Paste
- ¼ teaspoons Kosher Salt
- ½ cups Chopped Shallots
- 2 Tablespoons Minced Lemongrass
- 2 Tablespoons Minced Ginger
- ¼ cups Cooked Jasmine Rice
- Vegetable Or Canola Oil For Frying
- ¼ cups Lightly Packed Cilantro Leaves
- 1 Red Chili Pepper, Sliced
Preparation
Combine ground beef, ground pork, red curry paste, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
In a food processor, combine shallots, lemongrass, ginger and garlic. Process until it becomes paste-like. Add rice and pulse several times. Add mixture to the ground meat mixture until well incorporated.
Shape the mixture into golfball-sized rounds (about 16 balls) with your hands and spread rolled meatballs on a large clean surface, making sure that they do not touch.
In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Add meatballs and roll frequently until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
Transfer meatballs to paper-towel-lined platter or baking sheet to drain excess oil. Let it rest for a minute before transferring to bowls or a serving platter.
Garnish with cilantro leaves and sliced red chili pepper.
