Meatballs
-
- 1 onion, finely chopped
-
- 750g chicken mince
-
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
-
- 1 egg
-
- 1/4 cup coriander leaves, chopped
-
- 1 1/2 tablespoons green curry paste
-
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

-
- 2-3 tablespoons green curry paste

-
- 4 lime leaves, shredded
-
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce

Method
Fry the onion in a little oil until soft. Cool then combine with remaining ingredients (except the oil) and roll into balls, around 5cm in circumference. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. Heat more oil in the frying pan and cook meatballs for about 10 minutes.
To make the sauce, simmer curry paste in a pan for one minute. Stir in coconut milk and lime leaves. Cook for four minutes until the sauce boils. Add fish sauce, sugar and meatballs. Cook for six to eight minutes, then add lime juice. Serve with rice, steamed vegetables or a leafy green salad.
