Thai Coconut Rice and Meatballs

Hey Whiskers,
Long time no speak. So I've been feeling very international these days and not into classics. I was inspired to make this dinner as we had a ton of coconut milk in the pantry and my mom bought dry lemon grass at the spice store. I was actually planning to make this recipe with chicken but Im really glad I made it with meatballs it was delicious. I combine turkey and beef to balance out the fat and dryness in the meatball. I also found they don't need any bread crumbs,while staying together just fine. This is a delicious daily meal or totally fancy enough for Shabbat or hosting guests. Give it a shot it really doesnt take as long as you might think. I didnt make the meatball super spicy as my family has a low tolerance so add to taste. Enjoy! Give it a go and let me know how it is.Till next time keep whisking up love and happiness to those around you
