This recipe comes from the May 2007 issue of Gourmet magazine. This is a quick, delicious meal. Something different from the normal weeknight routine. Hope you enjoy it! Serve over steamed white rice. (One reviewer said that they substituted ground beef for the pork/veal and it turned out great that way too.)

ASIAN MEATBALLS WITH SPICY LIME DIPPING SAUCE

This is a Rachael Ray recipe. I use what I have on had and leave out the food processor step. She also cooks the meatballs in oil while I bake them at 350 for 20 minutes. I'm posting the recipe as she did. I served mine on a bead of sesame noodles (recipes are on zaar) with dipping sauce on the side. This was so good.

Time 15m

Yield 24 meatballs, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 scallions, coarsely chopped (green and white parts)
fresh ginger (2-inch piece peeled and grated or finely chopped)
1/4 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
1 serrano peppers or 1 jalapepano chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce, such as tamari
1/3 cup dark soy sauce, such as tamari
2 -3 tablespoons cilantro leaves
2 limes (zest and juice of 2 limes)
1 lb ground sirloin
3 -4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the scallions, half of the ginger, the bell pepper, half of the chile pepper, the garlic, the 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, the cilantro leaves and the lime zest. Pulse for 30 seconds, scrape down the bowl and process 1 minute more, or until finely ground. Add the meat and process until well combined, about 30 seconds more. Roll the meat into 24 balls the size of walnuts.
  • Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Add the meatballs and don't move them until they are brown on 1 side, about 2 minutes. Turn the meatballs and continue to cook, browning them on all sides, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • While the meatballs cook, make the dipping sauce. In a bowl, combine the remaining ginger and chile pepper, the 1/3 cup of soy sauce, the lime juice, the sesame oil, the honey and a splash of water. Taste and adjust the seasoning; if it's too salty, add another drizzle of honey. Place the finished meatballs on a serving platter, with toothpicks on the side. Serve with the spicy lime dipping sauce.
  • Note: I've made these without the bell pepper, chile and cilantro and they are still flavorful and delicious.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground meat: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of ground pork and ground beef. You can also use all pork or all beef, but the combination of the two is ideal.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a ton of flavor to these meatballs. Don't be afraid to use a variety of them, such as cilantro, mint, basil, ginger, and lemongrass.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Cook the meatballs thoroughly: Make sure the meatballs are cooked all the way through before serving. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the dipping sauce ahead of time: The dipping sauce is best if it has time to sit for a while before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

These Asian meatballs with spicy lime dipping sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for something new and exciting to make, give these meatballs a try. You won't be disappointed!
