1
Mix the Meatballs: In a bowl, combine the beef, breadcrumbs, egg, half the garlic, half the ginger, ½ tsp (3 g) salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into 16 meatballs.
2
Brown the Meatballs: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 6–8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate; they will finish cooking in the sauce.
3
Build the Curry: Add the onion to the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the remaining garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the TASTY BITE®/MD Coconut Curry, water, and remaining ¼ tsp (1 g) salt.
4
Simmer and Serve: Return the meatballs and any juices to the skillet. Cover and simmer gently for 10–12 minutes, until the meatballs reach 160°F (71°C) in the center. Stir in the spinach until wilted, then add the lime juice. Garnish with cilantro and serve over warm basmati rice.
