Thai chicken meatballs in coconut curry sauce
sunnuntai 30. tammikuuta 2022
A perfect dish to enjoy while watching the snowstorm whining outside. I managed to take my daily walk though, without suffering too much from the blizzard. It was nice to come home to these gorgeous meatballs that I made a few days ago. And I was clever enough to prepare a big bunch and put them in the freezer in meal-size boxes.
By using red curry paste, garlic, ginger, fish sauce and kaffir lime leaves you get a wonderfully aromatic and hot sauce to cover the meatballs with. If you are not familiar with kaffir lime leaves I strongly recommend you to buy some. Supermarkets have dried ones, ethnic shops also sell fresh/frozen ones. I prefer the latter, you can keep them in the freezer and take out the amount needed. For the meatballs you can use either turkey or chicken. Baking the meatballs in the oven gives you softer, more pillowy balls with a tender crust. Furthermore there's no extra oil needed for frying the meatballs.
The recipe comes from the blog foodiecrush.com
I doubled the recipe, both for the meatballs and the sauce and got about 50 meatballs.
Ingredients for 4-5 servings:
Thai meatballs:
500 g ground chicken or turkey
1 egg
2,4 dl panko breadcrumbs (I used only 1,5 dl)
1,2 dl minced green onion
3 cloves pressed garlic
1,5 tablespoons grated ginger or ginger paste
1 tablespoon soy sauce or fish sauce
1 tablespoon red curry paste (I used 2 tablespoons, because we like it hot)
1 teaspoon (kosher) salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C/400 degrees F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground meat with the egg, panko breadcrumbs, green onion, garlic, fish sauce, ginger, red curry paste and salt and pepper. Lightly fold the ingredients together. Gently knead the mix with damp hands until incorporated. Cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 15 minutes for the breadcrumbs to soften, up to overnight.
3. Form small meatballs and place on a cutting board. Dampen your hands and lightly shape and roll the meatballs between your palms and place evenly spaced on the baking sheet. Bake until no longer pink inside, about 20 minutes, then broil on high for another 5-10 minutes for a deliciously crispy crust. Remove from the oven and add to the coconut curry sauce.

Garlic parmesan roasted green beans
tiistai 9. marraskuuta 2021
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and ready in less than 30 minutes. The green beans are tossed in a mixture of parmesan cheese, minced garlic, butter, salt and pepper before being transferred to the oven. I used my frozen beens so they were not that crisp as fresh ones are, but the taste was gorgeous none the less.
Perfect as a side dish; mine were served as part of the harvest lunch buffet.
The original recipe can be found here eatwell101.com.
Ingredients:
about 500 g green beans, trimmed (fresh if possible, otherwise frozen)
0,5-1 dl softened butter
6 large cloves of garlic, finely chopped, minced or grated
1-2 teaspoons salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon Italian/French seasoning
1,2 - 1,5 dl fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1. Preheat your oven to 200C/400F.
2. Combine fresh green beans with butter, minced garlic, parmesan, salt, black pepper and seasoning and toss together.
3. Spread the prepared green beans on a baking sheet. Roast the green beans for 15-20 minutes until crisp-tender, stirring halfway through. Remove them from the oven, transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately. Enjoy!
