Cooking Steps

Start meatballs
1
  • 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.
Form and roast meatballs

  • 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.
Prep

  • Meanwhile, cut cucumbers into 1/4-inch rounds.
  • Pick mint leaves from stems, then finely chop.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Zest, then juice lime.
