Really outstanding meatballs! I translated the recipe into Australian and used a bit over 300gm lean beef and I'm guessing that broiling means grilling! All ingredients are always in the pantry so this was a very easy recipe. I used 1/2 tsp siraccha sauce rather than chillies and the heat was perfect. Served with coconut rice, fantastic meal - thanks for posting!

I served this at my Daughters 16th party to rave reviews! The ingredient list is rather long but uses ing. always found in my cupboard. I doubled the recipe n served 2 balls on each mini skewer seperated by a piece of red capcicum. I made the recipe to step 12 the morning of the party (balls hold together perfectly) then just heated through on the BBQ to be served with drinks.YUM!!

I have a passion for healthy and simple dishes with lots of vegetables, although I love a treat every now and again also, especially ice cream!
