Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/4 pounds ground lean lamb
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 cups finely chopped onions
2 teaspoons finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh coriander or parsley
1/2 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 1/3 cups apples, peeled, cored, seeded and finely diced
1/2 cup finely diced peeled banana
1/4 cup canned crushed peeled tomatoes
1 1/2 cups fresh or canned chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon corn, peanut or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Put the lamb in a mixing bowl.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet and add 1/2 cup of the onions and half of the garlic. Cook briefly, stirring, until wilted. Sprinkle with cumin and ground coriander and stir. Let cool briefly.
  • Scrape the onion mixture onto the lamb. Add the fresh coriander, bread crumbs, egg, salt and pepper. Blend well with the fingers. Shape the mixture into 20 round balls.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add the remaining 3/4 cup chopped onions, the remaining garlic and the curry powder. Cook, stirring, until the onions are wilted. Add the apples and banana and stir to blend.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Let simmer 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaf and pour the mixture into the container of a food processor or electric blender. Blend thoroughly. Return the mixture to a saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy skillet and add the meatballs. It may be necessary to use two skillets or repeat the browning of the meatballs, half of them at a time. Turn the meatballs so that they brown evenly, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the meatballs to the sauce, cover and let simmer about 15 minutes.

8 oz tomato sauce
1 can(s) (13.5 oz) coconut milk
2 tsp brown sugar

  • 5. Simmer gently (do not boil) for 10 minutes.
  • 6. Serve with rice.

Tips:

  • Use ground lamb with a higher fat content. Fattier lamb will produce juicier meatballs.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
  • Use a light hand when shaping the meatballs. Don't pack the meat mixture too tightly, or the meatballs will be dense.
  • Brown the meatballs in a hot skillet before simmering them in the curry sauce. This will help to develop their flavor.
  • Use a good quality curry powder. The curry powder is the key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use one that you like the taste of.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides. Rice, naan bread, or a simple salad are all good options.

Conclusion:

These curried lamb meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The meatballs are tender and juicy, and the curry sauce is flavorful and aromatic. Serve them with your favorite sides and enjoy!
