Thai Spiced Chicken Meatballs in Coconut Curry
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Chicken Meatballs:
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, shredded zucchini, green onions, one chopped shallot, grated ginger, garlic, cayenne, black pepper, and tamari.
Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into tablespoon-sized meatballs and set them aside.
2️⃣ Sear the Meatballs:
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the meatballs and sear for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
Transfer the seared meatballs to a plate.
3️⃣ Prepare the Coconut Curry:
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
Sauté the shallot, garlic, and ginger for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the red bell pepper, butter, and Thai red curry paste. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring to combine.
4️⃣ Simmer the Meatballs in the Curry:
Pour in the coconut milk and tamari sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.
Bring the sauce to a simmer, then add the seared meatballs.
Let the meatballs cook in the sauce for 5 minutes or until fully cooked through.
