Cooking Steps
- Reserve half the crispy shallots in a small bowl. Set aside. Keep remaining shallots in the package, fold the open side over to close, then using a rolling pin or a heavy-bottomed pan, gently crush crispy shallots in the package until broken into fine crumbs.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Add plant-based ground protein, Thai seasoning and crispy shallot crumbs to a medium bowl. Season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) pepper, then combine.
- Roll plant-based ground protein mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 12-14 min.**
- When done, toss meatballs with sweet chili sauce in another medium bowl.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Cut pineapple into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Zest, then juice lime.
- Meanwhile, add fish sauce, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) lime juice, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lime zest, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with pepper, then whisk to combine.
- When the meatballs are almost done, add pineapple, peppers and spring mix to the bowl with dressing, then toss to coat.
- Divide salad between plates. Top with plant-based ground protein meatballs.
- Sprinkle remaining crispy shallots over top.
- Spoon any remaining sweet chili sauce over salad.
If you've opted to get plant-based ground protein, prepare and cook it the same way as the turkey, until cooked through.**
