Curried Meatballs

Hello Friends! We had several requests for recipes based on a recent social media post that featured images of our recent kitchen adventures. This curried meatball recipe was created completely off the cuff but turned out really well! We will probably tweak it because its what we do :) however we think it was pretty good for a first attempt thanks to the wonderful curry spice blend we used. Caveat, as per our usual, we measured the spices and other seasonings by eye so please feel free to adjust any or all amounts to suit your own taste.


 Curried Meatballs in Creamy Coconut Sauce


MEATBALLS:


1 lb ground meat. We used beef but I think pork or chicken would be fantastic as well

1 large egg

1 tsp curry powder -we used a mild Malaysian ginger curry blend with ginger being the primary spice but it also contains cumin, coriander, cardamom, celery powder, chili powder, cinnamon, cloves, turmeric and black pepper. A nice red Thai curry powder would be a good alternative.

1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp dried parsley flakes or 1 tbsp of fresh chopped parsley

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)






Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Combine all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and hand mix until ingredients are thoroughly integrated. Roll meat into 2" balls. Space out the balls on the baking sheet and cook for approximately 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 F degrees*



*In our experience, an air fryer does a great job cooking meatballs.









SAUCE:


14 oz coconut milk

8 oz of stock- we used chicken stock but bone broth or vegetable stock would be great

2 tbsp of curry powder

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes



While the meatballs are cooking, add coconut milk, stock, curry powder, salt and pepper to a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until it begins to bubble. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. We added some cooking liquid from the meatballs to the sauce, about an ounce for extra flavor.


When the meatballs are done, we added them to the sauce and continued to simmer and stir for another 10 minutes.


We served our dish over spaghetti squash that was broiled and seasoned with olive oil, salt and pepper and then we garnished the dish with red pepper flakes and chopped scallions but obviously your favorite rice or noodles and garnish would work too.




We LOVE feedback so please let us know what you think about this recipe, our blog, or anything that is on your mind :) Enjoy!

Dreams of the Crescent City- Part I

Image
                                                  Dreams of the Crescent City,  Part I Our base of operations for the Big Easy rambles!   As a musician, foodie and fan of all things historic, visiting New Orleans was a long time on my bucket list. Welcome to the first of what will likely become a series of blogs about it! In August 2016, my wife, aka Mrs. Good Life Ramblings, booked us for a few days at Club La Pension at 115 Decatur Street in the Central Business District (CBD), an easy walk to many of the most popular destinations in the city. We learned the fertile crescent shaped land that New Orleans sits upon was inhabited for thousands of years by the Chitimacha people and their ancestors. In 1542, Spanish conquistadors led by Hernando de Soto were the first Europeans to explore the region, but it was the French who esta...

9 Quick Tips to Beat Seasickness

Let’s face it, nothing ruins a great day on the water more than having your breakfast revisit you on its way to feed the fishes! Some folks seem to have an immunity to such worries but if you’re like me you know what I’m talking about. I feel your pain!   I absolutely love being on the water, be it diving, cruising, fishing or just day tripping with good friends however, all my life I’ve struggled with the specter of nausea which seems to rear  its  ugly head about half the time I venture out on the water!   Naturally, I’ve tried plenty of remedies,  most obviously Dramamine or any generic version containing its active ingredient, Meclizine  Hci ,  with varying degrees of success. I’m not vouching for any  particular one  as it often seems that a combination of things works best.               So! Without further ado, here are:         9  Quick Tips to Beat Sea sickness:   ...

Into the Blue

Image
      Into the Blue by Craig Adams I grew up on an island but it was a big island, you might say it was a Long Island. Growing up there you learn early that the place to be in the summer was at the shore, North or South, either one would do. As it was, my brother and I spent the majority of our formative years being raised by our single mother. Growing up in the City of Brotherly Love she never learned to drive and money was always tight so opportunities to get to the beach were few and far between. She also never learned to swim ergo for the first dozen or so years of my life, neither did I. A wonderful thing happened in the summer of my 12 th year. My mom bought me and my brother season passes to the Town of Babylon pool on Phelps Lane! I’m not sure how she came up with the money but it seemed too good to be true, a minor miracle. After all, most of our buddies came from families with two parents and seemingly had money to burn and of course, season passes to the tow...
