Try this beef and lamb meatball banh mi if you crave for something Asian but still want to keep things native. Here is the simple recipe you can try.
Ingredients
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium lime
- 1 clove garlic
- ⅛ ounce basil
- ⅛ ounce cilantro (coriander)
- ⅛ ounce mint
- 1 medium egg
- 1 pinch Kosher salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 5 ounces ground beef (minced beef)
- 5 ounces ground lamb (minced lamb)
- 2 tablespoons sriracha - divided
- ½ tablespoon honey
- 1 ½ cups carrots - shredded
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Peel onion, halve and thinly slice it. Then halve lime, and mince the garlic.
- Pat beef and lamb dry with a paper towel.
- Separate 1 egg. In a large bowl, combine the Hoisin sauce, garlic, beef and lamb, and add the sriracha, 1 egg yolk and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper as desired.
- Using your hands, mix well and form into 8 equal balls, about 1 1/2-inches in diameter. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet, spacing apart. Discard the egg white or save for a breakfast scramble.
- Transfer to meatballs to the oven and bake until browned outside and cooked through for about 13 minutes.
- While the meatballs bake, whisk together fish sauce, half of the honey and the juice of 1 lime in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper as desired. Add carrots and onion and toss to coat. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, remaining honey, and as much remaining sriracha as desired. Heat a medium pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add rolls cut-side down and toast until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from pan and scoop out roll centres.
- Spread Aioli on the insides of rolls. Add meatballs, herbs and carrot-onion mixture.
