Coconut Curry Meatballs

I took this recipe to a potluck recently and it was enjoyed by everyone! I mean who doesn't love a curry!

Meatballs

1 lb. organic ground beef
1 egg
½ cup finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped garlic clove
1/8 cup coconut flour
3 tbsp curry powder
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp coconut oil (for frying)

Sauce
1 can full fat coconut milk
3/4 cup chicken broth
3 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp of ginger
½ tsp of cayenne pepper

In a mixing bowl, combine meatball ingredients (except for the coconut oil, as it will be used to fry meatballs) well. Using your meatball mixture, create medium sized (1×1 in.) meatballs to have them prepared before we heat the skillet. Place skillet on medium heat and add coconut oil. Once coconut oil melts, add in your meatballs. Let meatballs brown on one side for about 4-5 minutes, and then turn around to brown on the other side for another 4-5 minutes.

While you wait for the meatballs to brown, combine your sauce ingredients together and set aside. Once both sides have been browned, add in your sauce and cover skillet with a lid. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, until meatballs have cooked through and sauce thickens.

You can use this meatball recipe without the sauce. Feel creative by adding different spices and mixing in different ground meats (pork, turkey, chicken).
