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.
These look fantastic…what would you serve them with in a paleo-friendly way? Over greens…baby spinach…or?! This looks satisfying and saucy enough for my sauce-freak French husband!
over spinach would be great!
I’m a huge fan of curry, but I have to admit I was still a little skeptical of this recipe…
Being that it’s the end of the month and my fridge is definitely lacking it’s usual plethora of tasty foods I was pretty excited that I had all that I needed to make this and Uhhh….it’s AMAZING! I did add a mirepoix mix to the sauce, but it definitely didnt need it.
I’m so loving your blog…so glad I found it!! Made these tonight over a bed of spinach with zucchini, carrot & beet noodles. Delicious! Thank you so much for all of the inspiration!
These meatballs were yummy. Just needed some salt and pepper!
These came out AWESOME! The sauce never got as thick as yours and I was worried to overcook the meatballs so pulled them off the stove. I had to use ground bison instead of grass fed beef b/c the store was all out when I went. Can’t wait to have the leftovers!
These are great! I used turkey like you did. I also added red pepper flakes and used half mild curry powder and half hot curry powder. I will be making these again.
Baked mine instead of cooking on oven. Great! Added A few green onions on top too.
Excellent and super easy. I made mine with beef, but might give lamb a try next time. Served over cauliflower rice.
I just made this last night and it is AMAZING! Thank you so much for the awesome recipes. You can see my post and link to your blog here: http://goodlifefarm.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/curry-meatballs/
I made this dish for dinner last night! It was AWE-MAZING!! Loved the flavors. I eat a lot of ground meat (beef/turkey/chicken) and some times it just feels like the same dish over and over again. This dish did not! I just started Paleo about a month ago and your recipes get me through the cravings and missing carbs!!!
