Ginger-Spring onion Meatballs With Green Curry Sauce

Ingredients for Ginger-Spring onion Meatballs With Green Curry Sauce

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

• 450g pork mince

• 6 spring onions, finely chopped

• 1 large egg

• 2 teaspoons finely grated peeled ginger (from about 1" piece)

• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

• 1 (150g) can coconut cream

• 60ml store-bought or homemade Thai green curry paste

• 1 (140g) container baby spinach

• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

• Cooked noodles or rice, unsweetened shredded coconut, and lime wedges (for serving)

Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 232°C. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Vigorously mix pork, spring onions, egg, ginger, 1 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl with a wooden spoon until mixture is shaggy and lightens slightly in colour, about 1 minute.

Working one at a time, scoop out heaping 1-tablespoonful portions and roll into balls; arrange on prepared baking sheet. Bake meatballs until cooked through and browned on top, 8–10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat coconut cream and curry paste in a large skillet over medium-high, stirring occasionally, until bubbling, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in spinach and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender and purée until smooth. Add lime juice and blend to combine.

Divide noodles or rice among plates and arrange meatballs on top. Pour sauce over and top with coconut. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

DO AHEAD: Meatballs can be formed 1 day ahead. Arrange on baking sheet; cover and chill.
