Thai Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce image

Don't just consider this for a main meal, but also for an appetizer. A Jamie Purviance recipe for Weber Grill. They're just as good baked or pan fried. Just don't overcook.

Time 28m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon asian fish sauce
2 teaspoons asian garlic sauce (Sriracha)
1 lb ground chuck (80% lean)
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
1 tablespoon cilantro or 1 tablespoon sweet basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped Thai red chili peppers or 1 tablespoon jalapeno
1 teaspoon asian fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 bunch Thai basil
12 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, gently combine the ground chuck with the rest of the filling ingredients.
  • Shape a tablespoon of the filling into a small log. Wrap 1 basil leaf around the beef and thread onto a skewer. Repeat until all of the filling is gone.
  • Clean and oil the cooking grate. Grill the rolls until the filling is fully cooked and slightly firm, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning once during cooking. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce. An alternate method would be to bake or pan fry.

I made these meatballs in my air fryer and they turned out perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers from the recipe. The meatballs were still delicious, even without the heat.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have leftover rice in my fridge, so this recipe is a lifesaver.
