Instructions
Before you start
- Bring a steamer pot of hot tap water to a boil.
Cook rice
- In a large pot over high heat add 200 g jasmine rice and 310ml or 1¼ cup of water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium or medium-low and cover. Simmer for 12 minutes or until water is absorbed. When the rice has 4 minutes of cooking time remaining stir through 140 g peas. Fluff rice with a fork.
Cook meatballs
- Peel and mince 2 cloves garlic. Put the garlic and 500 g lamb mince in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Using damp hands and a ⅛ measuring cup, scoop the mixture and shape it into meatballs. Heat 15 ml olive oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Cook the meatballs, turning, for 4-5 minutes, until browned. Remove from the pan, reserve the pan on heat.
Make sauce
- Using the reserved pan, combine 120 g peanut butter, 1 tbsp red curry paste, 5 ml soy sauce, 15 ml apple cider vinegar and 2 tbsp honey. Then add 125 ml coconut milk and whisk to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until slightly thickened (add a splash of water if you prefer a runnier sauce). Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through. Taste, then season with pepper.
Cook broccoli
- Meanwhile, slice 1 broccoli into florets. Slice 1 carrot in half lengthways then thinly slice. Add the broccoli and carrot to the steamer pot of boiling water. Cook for 4-5 minutes until just tender. Meanwhile, pick the coriander leaves, discarding the stems. Roughly chop the peanuts.
To serve
- Divide the lamb satay meatballs and sauce between plates. Serve with rice and veggies on the side. Sprinkle with peanuts and coriander.
