Curry is BACK!! Never let go curry, never let go.
Throw back!! Check out this meal from back in the day. Doesn’t that picture look delicious? You want to eat it right off the screen don’t you?! Of course you don’t, it looks like dog doo. That’s why I had to recreate this meal. It’s delicious and it should look like meatballs. Not poop balls. Gross. I should have never said that.
The last time I made this recipe, I used ground turkey. But this time, I went CRAZY and used ground beef. I think so outside the box sometimes. But I just had to try TX Bar Organics grass fed ground beef that I just got a shipment of. And it was AWESOME. If you are looking for some grass fed beef to order online, these guys are awesome and send everything packaged up all amazing like. They’re great. Period.
Anywho. In my phone, I have this notepad app that I write ideas I come up with for my blog. Either recipes or just something I want to talk about. I wrote down “uti commercial” the other day. WTF? What does that even mean? I actually was contemplating on talking about urinary tract infections. On the world wide web. Ugh. Get your life together Juli.
Over the weekend, I went to a rugby fundraiser. No, I don’t play rugby, or any sport for that matter, but a lot of men at my gym play rugby. And I support any sort of male sport that insists on wearing short-shorts while running. Really fast. Wait, I take that back. Males who run far distances and have half the thigh size of mine, those guys creep me out. Sorry bros. Thicker thighs are just better. It’s plain fact. Anyways, lots of good looking men in nice outfits. But they were all drunk. It’s a shame I don’t drink more like I used to in my 21 year old days. I was riot then. Now I like pajamas….a lot. I left the party by 10:30pm. Fail Juli, fail.
Leftovers: Curry Meatballs
- Prep Time: 8 mins
- Cook Time: 10 mins
- Total Time: 18 minutes
- Yield: 3-4 1x
Ingredients
For the balls
- 1 lb TX Bar Organics Grass Fed Ground Beef (I used ground turkey last time)
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- just a hint of cinnamon
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons coconut oil for cooking (or other fat you like to use)
For the saucey flare
- 1.5–2 cups canned coconut milk (the more the better)
- 1 cup organic chicken broth
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 5 teaspoons curry powder (based upon your curry obsession)
- 2 teaspoons garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ginger
Instructions
- Add all ingredients for your meatballs to a larger bowl and thoroughly mix together.
- Shape meatballs to the size you like. Mini meatballs or large ones are both acceptable!
- In a large skillet or pot, add your coconut oil then add your meatballs and diced onions from your sauce ingredients and let them brown for a couple minutes. Let the meatballs cook on both sides for about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the onions and meatballs have browned a bit, add the rest of the ingredients for your sauce and mix together until meatballs are covered in sauce.
- Cover and let meatballs and sauce simmer until the sauce thickens and meatballs have cooked through–about 5 minutes.
Ur obsession with balls & ball humour gives you two thumbs up from me!
That looks like a tasty dish too, I’m so making that when I get out my mince out of the freezer later this week
Its turned cold here too. well not Colorado cold admittedly, but that said its all relative isnt it, so anyhoo this means i need curry balls in my belly
Shew!! Close call on the UTIs.
Can’t wait to try the Curry Meatballs! I’m kind of bummed though. I get Marsala Wine and garam masala confused. For a short wonderful spell, I was taking license to use plenty of Marsala Wine…. “since Juli” did. Oh yeah! Stupid garam masala is a spice, not that sugary wine I like to cook with. BIG SAD FACE!!
lol sad sad day
Lol nothing wrong with wine! I luckily have garam masala I need to use up thats taking up space in my pantry!
Just read your rugby rant, i am rugby mad, well I’m all blacks rugby mad.
Check them out, they are the best team in the world, they won the world cup last year woohoo!!!
Yes i am a new zealander which means i too won the rugby world cup
lol my coach and training partner is a kiwi too so i heard lots about the world cup haha
Can’t wait to try these! Meatballs are one of my faves! Off the subject question…where do you think is the best place to buy spandex shorts? I’ve tried a few different kinds and they all ride up too much and I can’t take it anymore! Please help!
I buy my spandex at lululemon! best material hands down
My dad played rugby in college and looking at old pictures, I have seen WAY more of my father and his friends than I ever needed to. Glad you used beef this time – it’s so much better than turkey 🙂
Lol that’s a lot of leg showing on a father
I’ve never heard of garam masala…is it in the regular spice section? These look delish! Can’t get enough curry!
sometimes you have to go to more high end grocery stores or spice shops to find it Chrissy
Oh, gotcha- there’s a place called Seven Spice that has lots of Mediterranean stuff…wonder if they’ll have it!
I have to say rugby players are the hottest male athletes (might be a bit biased because my husband is one). And if you want to see some serious male thigh – you have to check out the All Blacks….they really are the greatest team on the planet…..and not to bad looking in those shorts.
I love seeing yummy recipes and knowing I have everything I need at home to make this deliciousness tonight…..no additional shopping required.
Oh my training partner is from New Zealand so the All Blacks are often talked about haha. Hope you like the recipe!
These were amazing – not only according to my husband, but also my paleo eating co-worker and Crossfit buddy. Pure awesomeness.
ahh yum, curry is a new favorite of mine too. I love making a bunch of meatballs (I usually throw some liver in there for the nutrients!) and freezing them to have for wicked quick dinners- just zap them in the microwave and top them on a salad.
meatballs are seriously the best leftovers ever. i ate mine cold yesterday
It looks quite delicious to me! The recipe is little bit complicated, but I think I will manage to make them properly. 🙂
It’s not too complicated at all, i promise!!
I’m not the fun party girl I used to be either. Well I’m still fun, just not drunk!! I don’t miss the hangovers one bit!
Me neither
