Method
-
Heat oil in a large, flameproof, roasting pan over a medium to high heat. Add meatballs. Cook, turning occasionally for about 3 minutes, or until browned all over. Remove. Add paste. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
-
Add milk, undrained pineapple, sauce, broccoli and tomatoes to pan. Stir in meatballs. Bring to boil. Remove pan from heat. Cover tightly with foil.
-
Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for 15 minutes. Un-cover. Cook for a further 5 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and broccoli is tender. Stir in chopped coriander.
-
Sprinkle with cashews and coriander leaves. Serve with rice.
TIP! We used Jamie Oliver’s Asian-Style Chicken Meatballs available at most Woolworths supermarkets. Red curry paste can be replaced with green, penang, yellow or massaman, if preferred.
