Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375℉. Place parchment paper over a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl mix all the ingredients for the meatballs together well. Do not overmix—just stir until the ingredients are evenly incorporated to keep the meatballs tender.
- Form the meatballs into small 1 inch balls. Place meatballs on prepared baking sheet and bake for about 18-20 minutes or until done.
- In the meantime you can make the sauce. Heat the oil in a medium sauce pan or skillet. Add the red curry paste and cook for a couple minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Add meatballs to sauce and toss so that the meatballs are fully coated. Garnish with parsley or cilantro and serve.
