Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- In a small bowl, reserve half the crispy shallots. Set aside. Keep remaining shallots in the package, fold the open side over to close, then use a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pan to gently crush crispy shallots in the package until broken into fine crumbs.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To a medium bowl, add beef, Thai Spice Blend and crispy shallot crumbs. Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 12-14 min, until golden and cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, drain pineapple, reserving juice in a small bowl.
- When done, toss meatballs and pineapple with sweet chili sauce in another medium bowl.
- Meanwhile, cut cucumbers into 1/4-inch rounds.
- Pick mint leaves from stems, then finely chop.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Zest, then juice lime.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together fish sauce, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) pineapple juice, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with pepper.

- Divide salad between plates. Top with meatballs and pineapple.
- Sprinkle remaining crispy shallots over top.
- Spoon any remaining sweet chili sauce over salad.
