Best 5 Veggie Meatballs With Coconut Red Curry Sauce Recipes

VEGAN COCONUT RED CURRY

Steps:

• For the rice: Combine the water and rice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, adjust to a low simmer, cover and cook until the rice is tender, and all the water has been absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered. (Tip: don't stir the rice while it's cooking.)
• For the curry: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pepper, zucchini, eggplant and onion and cook, stirring, until crisp tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Combine the tomatoes, garam masala, cumin, paprika, turmeric, salt, cayenne, garlic and ginger in a medium pot, bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Careful of splashing, pour in coconut milk and add the coconut oil, turn off heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Puree with hand stick blender (or in batches in a blender) until smooth.
• Add the cooked vegetables to the curry sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Toast or grill the naan or pita bread until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Cut into pieces.
• For serving: Fill bowls with some rice and then top with some curry. Sprinkle with scallion and serve with a piece of naan or pita bread.

VEGETARIAN MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a medium pot, add the lentils and 2 quarts water. Set the pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the lentils until soft but not falling apart, about 25 minutes.
• Pour the cooked lentils through a colander and let cool. In a large frying pan set over a medium-high heat, saute the carrots, onions, celery, garlic, thyme and salt with the 1/4 cup olive oil until the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes.
• When the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, stir in the tomato paste. Cook, stirring constantly, until the paste darkens, about 3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and saute, stirring frequently, until completely cooked and browned on edges, about 15 minutes. Remove vegetables from frying pan and set aside to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled vegetables with lentils and all remaining ingredients, save for the 2 tablespoons olive oil and the pesto. Mix until well combined. Place the mixture in the refrigerator to cool completely, about 25 minutes.
• Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into a large 9-by-12-inch baking dish, making sure to coat evenly. Roll the lentil mixture into round, golf-ball-size meatballs, making sure to pack the balls firmly. Place lentil balls into the oiled baking dish, making sure none of the meatballs touch one another.
• Roast the lentil balls until firm and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Allow the meatballs to cool for five minutes before removing them from the tray. Serve with pesto.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the walnuts out on a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and roast until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Set the nuts aside to cool.
• Fill a large stockpot three-quarters of the way full with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Next, fill a large bowl with ice water.
• Drop the spinach and basil into boiling water and give the leaves a stir. After 1 minute, remove the greens and plunge them into ice water. Discard the boiling water.
• Once cool, remove the greens from the ice bath and squeeze them dry. Give them a rough chop and transfer to a food processor.
• Add the salt, olive oil and Parmesan to the food processor and blend until a uniform, pesto-like consistency is reached.

THAI MEATBALLS IN A TOMATO COCONUT CURRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine pork, fish sauce, garlic, ginger, lemon grass paste, cilantro, and peanut oil in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors.
• Shape pork mixture into 1 1/4-inch meatballs. (Mixture should yield approximately 34 to 36 meatballs.)
• Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs in batches, giving the pan a shake occasionally. Turn meatballs until brown on all sides and cooked through, approximately 14 to 16 minutes. Remove meatballs to a bowl.
• In a large saucepan, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Cook onion until translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Stir in curry paste. Cover and simmer over low heat until sauce begins to reduce, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
• Process sauce with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in coconut milk and adjust taste by adding additional salt if needed. Return meatballs to sauce and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until warmed through.
• Garnish with cilantro if desired.
