Meatballs with Chutney

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 cup cilantro
• ½ cup yogurt
• 1 whole lime
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 0.5 cup breadcrumbs, 1 beaten egg, 1 minced garlic clove, and 0.5 tsp salt. Mix until just combined.

2. 2

   Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs. You should get about 12.

3. 3

   Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer, not crowding the pan.

4. 4

   Cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. They should feel firm and reach 160°F inside.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, make the chutney: in a blender, combine 1 cup cilantro, 0.5 cup yogurt, juice of 1 lime, 1 minced garlic clove, and 0.5 tsp salt. Blend until smooth.

6. 6

   Serve the hot meatballs with the green chutney, lime wedges, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes if desired.
