Meatballs in Peanut Curry Sauce

Rate this Recipe

by twilightsummers, 3/1/2010I made this with high hopes from the picture. In the end, I think I added too much peanut butter (and definitely too much salt). The flavors were muddled. The sauce broke as soon as it started to simmer, so I had to add a bit more peanut butter to smooth it out, but it was too thick in the end. I live in Poland, where good ground beef is a pain to find, so I used ground pork instead. The meatballs weren't particularly flavorful. If I make this again, I'll take a page from my Grandma's book and add garlic to the meatballs. On the whole, I think it's a recipe with potential, but I think I personally messed it up. I'm sure I'll try it again in the future.

by THoll64154, 12/1/2008I was very disappointed with this recipe. The photo in the magazine looked so good; it prompted me to give it a try. I bought the red curry paste and coconut milk that I didn't have on hand, thinking I was going to be making something delicious. The meatballs are nothing but ground beef with salt and pepper...makes for little, no flavor, hockey pucks when cooked. My husband ate a couple of the meatballs and said "Don't make this again". The kids tasted the sauce and wouldn't try the meatballs. I had doubled this recipe and had to throw it all in the garbage. It was as waste of good ingedients.

by osborn, 10/2/2008A great way to use ground beef for a simple week night dinner. This a favorite of my three young boys. We eat it with rice and a steamed veggie.

by CelticKate, 7/15/2008I cheat and use frozen meatballs. The sauce is a nice combo of spicy, salty and sweet. A good make ahead appetizer.
