I have millions of veggie meatball leftovers and I didn't know what to do with them.
I thought of making teriyaki balls.
Thought of making like a curry hummus dip.
Thought of making pasta with it.
Crazy that I am, I made them all. Just made them out
of whatever ingredients available in my fridge and pantry.
Ha!
Curry Sauce with Meatballs and Pita Bread
Ingredients:
2 cups of fresh milk
or
2 cups of pure coconut milk
pinch of salt
1tsp. turmeric powder
1tbsp. curry powder
1tsp. cumin powder
coriander leaves
fresh chili
1 tbsp. cooking oil
2 pita breads
In a small pan, infuse all the powdered ingredients. Infusing means, heating them
up on a very low fire until all the flavors are done waking up
and come together. Pour the milk and let it
and come together. Pour the milk and let it
simmer until it thickens just a little. In this photo, I cooked it around dinner time
so no fresh coconut milk anywhere. I NEVER use powdered or canned. But if
you're a vegan, you can use them as an alternative.
I'm not so I used milk and little bit feta cheese.
No cheese is still good. You're still good.
When it thickens, add the fresh chili and coriander leaves.
I always like having coriander leaves in my curry coz it makes the strong flavor
of the curry a little lighter and fresher. Anyway, it's totally optional.
Heat up the pita breads directly on the stove and cut them
into pieces.
Teriyaki Balls
Ingredients:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar
1tsp. finely chopped ginger
2 tbsp. cornstarch and 5 tbsp. water for thickener
1 tsp. sesame oil
sesame seeds
spring onions
Combine soy sauce, water and sugar into a pan and stir until the
sugar dissolves. Bring this to a simmer and then add the cornstarch and
water solution. Mix continuously until it thickens.
Add the sesame oil, sesame seeds and the spring onion
Meatball Marinara Sauce
Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 cups of tomato sauce
2 tbsp. chopped garlic
1 tbsp. onion
1 tbsp. brown sugar
dried or fresh oregano
salt and pepper
3 tbsp. cooking oil
cheese (optional)
Infuse the garlic and onion in cooking oil. Pour the tomato sauce and
brown sugar. Yes, we like our spaghetti a little sweeter.
When it comes to a simmer, season it with salt and pepper and then
sprinkle with a little oregano. And there's your spaghetti meatball sauce.
Use the sauce for your pastas or hotdog bun for a meatball sub!
Top with cheese if you like.
DIG IN!
