Gluten-Free JOC Appetizer - Coconut Curry Meatballs

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef or ground chicken
1/2 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tablespoons gluten-free curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup canned coconut milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, gluten-free breadcrumbs, shredded coconut, gluten-free curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the canned coconut milk and egg until well combined.

Pour the coconut milk and egg mixture over the meat mixture. Add the chopped cilantro.

Mix everything together until well combined. It's best to use your hands to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and browned on the outside.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

These Coconut Curry Meatballs make a delicious gluten-free appetizer with a unique flavor twist. Enjoy!
