Spicy Pork And Crab Meatball Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Kittie / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago These light meatballs are really easy to make, and are packed with flavour. They can be poached in broth, fried, baked or made into kebabs. They are fab as an appetizer - gently fried, then served with sweet chilli dipping sauce. Prep:20m Cook:8m Servings:4	Kittie

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic - roughly chopped

1 large shallot (or 3 scallions) roughly chopped

2 red chillies (Add more or less to taste depending on how hot you like it, and how hot the chillies are!) - roughly chopped

2 inch piece of fresh ginger - roughly chopped

1 red pepper - cut into large pieces

Zest of one lime

1 tbsp dark/thick soy sauce

1 tbsp fish sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

Small handful coriander (cilantro) - roughly chopped

1 tin crab meat (or replace with 150g fresh crab meat)

500g minced (ground) pork

1 egg - beaten

Directions

Add the garlic, shallot, chillies, ginger, red pepper, zest and coriander into a food blender and blitz until all ingredients are very finely chopped.

Remove from blender into mixing bowl.

Add crab meat to mixture and combine.

Put the pork, egg, soy and fish sauce and sesame oil into blender and blitz until pureed.

Add this to the crab mixture and mix until well combined.

Using damp hands, shape the mixture into small walnut-sized balls. I got about 32 from the quantities above.

Put the balls in fridge for 30 minutes to chill (This is optional - but will help them stay together better!)

Gently fry the meatballs for about 7/8 minutes in a little oil - being sure not to overcrowd the pan.

At this point you could freeze the meatballs for later use.
