Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 14 oz. (400 gr.) organic ground pork
- 1 egg
- 1 onion, grated
- 1/4 cup (1/2 dl.) milk
- 1/4 cup (1/2 dl.) rolled oats
- 1 tsp. salt
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Butter, for frying
- 2 tbsp. curry powder
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 can (14 oz.) organic coconut milk
- 1 head of cauliflower, for cauliflower rice
- 1 apple, thinly sliced, for garnish
- Almonds, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, egg, grated onion, milk, rolled oats, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
- In a large frying pan, melt a knob of butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the curry powder and sugar to the onions, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine, and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the meatballs to the pan, coating them with the sauce. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
- For the cauliflower rice, cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
- Serve the meatballs and sauce over the cauliflower rice. Garnish with thinly sliced apples and chopped almonds.
Notes
For a low-carb option, serve with cauliflower rice instead of regular rice. The coconut milk adds a rich flavor to the curry sauce, making it a healthier alternative to the traditional roux-based sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
