Ingredients
Meatballs:
  • 1 lb ground beef (90% lean)
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs (regular or gluten-free)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • ¼ cup chopped scallion
  • ¼ cup chopped basil
  • 2 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 egg
Sauce:
  • 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk (full fat, regular)
  • 2 tablespoons green curry
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • Juice and zest of 1 lime
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients for the meatballs in a medium bowl.
  2. Form into 12 meatballs and place on parchment paper.
  3. Brown the meatballs in a nonstick pan in two batches, each with 1 tablespoon oil.
  4. In a large saucepan (I use wide a 3.5 quart), combine the ingredients for the sauce except for the lime zest. Mix well and cook over low until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the meatballs to the sauce and increase heat to medium-low. Simmer meatballs in sauce until cooked all the way through, turning them occasionally (cook for about 15 minutes).
  6. Serve with lime zest on top. VOILA!
