This recipe turned out absolutely amazing! I ended up eating twice as much as I should of – everyone did! So make lots!
You will need the following ingredients:
- 2-3 green onions
- Fresh cilantro leaves
- 3-4 mushrooms
- 1 green Hungarian hot pepper
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp minced ginger
- 5 tsp curry paste
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 450g extra lean minced turkey
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or peanut oil, or canola oil)
For the sauce:
- 1 green onion
- 2 tsp red curry paste
- 1 can coconut milk
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ½ lime
Serves 4
Start by chopping and slicing the first set of green onions, the cilantro, the mushrooms and the hot pepper
Combine the chopped ingredients in a bowl along with the egg (whisk a little first), ginger, curry past, sugar and fish sauce – Mix
Add turkey – get your hands dirty!! Mix ingredients together. Form small balls
In large flat skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-heat. Cook the meatballs on each side until nicely brown – will take 10-15 minutes (cut one in half to make sure it’s well cooked)
Remove meatballs from pan, set aside. In oil add the rest of the green onion and the garlic
Add a can of coconut milk and squeeze the lime. Add the meatballs to the sauce and heat
Serve with naan bread! Basmati rice would also go nicely with the dish.
