Curried Meatballs

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lbs. lean grass-fed organic beef
  • tsp finely grated fresh ginger root
  • 2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • 18 oz. crushed tomatoes
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Place the ground beef and ginger in a mixing bowl
  • Crush the fennel seeds in a mortar and pestle (if you don't have one, the flat of a knife on a cutting board works fine), mix with cinnamon, and add to the beef.
  • Mix thoroughly with your hands and form into small (walnut-sized) balls.
  • Place the tomatoes, curry powder, and turmeric into a saucepan, add salt & pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and gently place the meatballs into the sauce.
  • Cover and cook gently for 15-20 minutes, stirring and turning the meatballs occasionally so that they are thoroughly cooked.
  • Remove from heat and serve.

Notes

Serves 4-6.
