  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk

  • 3 tablespoons red curry paste

  • 1/2 tablespoon sriracha*

  • 3 tablespoons lime juice


For the cabbage salad:

  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1/2 tablespoon honey

​

Directions:

  1. First, preheat oven to 400ºF and spray a casserole dish or cake pan with coconut oil cooking spray. Set aside.

  2. Prep your cabbage salad by placing all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and place in the fridge.

  3. Prep meatball mixture by placing all ingredients into a large bowl and mixing until combined.

  4. Using a tablespoon cookie scoop (note: these are bite-sized, not giant!), scoop out mixture and mold into a ball with your hands. It works best if your hands are slightly moist with water. Place in oiled casserole dish.

  5. Place meatballs in the oven for 10 minutes.

  6. While meatballs are baking, prepare curry sauce by placing olive oil into a medium fry pan. When oil is hot, add onion.

  7. Sauté onion for 2-3 minutes and then add the rest of the curry sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil.

  8. After meatballs have been baking for 10 minutes, add curry sauce to the casserole dish and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes.

  9. Finally, add all ingredients for cauliflower rice into a fry pan and cooked for 5-7 minutes.

  10. When meatballs are done, remove from the oven and place 1/2 cup of cabbage salad, 1/2 cup cauliflower rice, meatballs, and curry sauce in a bowl.

  11. Top with fresh Thai basil and a squeeze of lime. Enjoy!
