Ingredients

1 C lite coconut milk

2 ½ TB soy sauce

1 TB curry powder

1 pound lean ground pork or beef

½ C chopped scallions

¼ C minced leek, white and pale green part only

2 TB cornstarch

1 TB all-purpose flour

1 TB toasted sesame oil

1 TB finely chopped fresh ginger (+/- depending on tastes)

2 tsp seeded and minced fresh chile pepper (+/-)

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp ground pepper

2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

1 med head Boston lettuce (red leaf lettuce is nice too)

¼ C chopped fresh basil (Thai basil if you can get it)

1 TB freshly grated lemon zest (fresh is important)

Directions

1. Combine coconut milk, soy sauce and curry powder in a large saucepan. Set aside.

2. Place pork (or beef), scallions, leek, cornstarch, flour, sesame oil, ginger, chile, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Knead by hand until thoroughly combined and the mixture becomes sticky. Divide into 10 equal portions, about 1/4 C each. Roll each portion into

a ball.

3. Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the sides. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

4. Bring the coconut-milk mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs; cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 8 minutes.

5. Line a serving bowl with lettuce leaves. Arrange the meatballs on top. Garnish with basil and lemon zest. Serve hot with the coconut-milk sauce drizzled over the top or on the side for dipping.

** You can cover and refrigerate the meatball mixture (Step 2 OR Step 3 after the meatballs brown) for up to 2 days.
