NEXT INGREDIENT : Lamb

[Zhills]

No lamb lovers here?  

Next ingredient:  Tarragon

[PA Mom-mom]

@momtochloe and @Zhills Can we do lamb before tarragon? I have one using lamb that is on my regular rotation.

Indian Spiced Meatballs

I like to make these with lamb and beef, but you can use all beef. It calls for coconut milk, but I use skim milk. If you like the coconut flavor, you can also use coconut extract. You can serve these with your favorite veggie or with buttered noodles or rice pilaf. They make a great finger food for parties or for kiddies.

Ingredients:

1/2 pound ground lamb
1/2 pound ground beef
1/3 cup coconut milk (I use skim milk instead)
2 large cloves garlic, grated
1/4 cup minced onion or shallot (optional)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg beaten
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of cardamom (if you have whole cardamom, peel a few pods and crush the seeds to powder using a rolling pin and a tsp. of sugar)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, soak breadcrumbs in coconut or skim milk for 15 minutes. Now add all other ingredients and mix well. Roll the mixture into golf ball sized balls and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 22-25 minutes, until meat is no longer pink.

As I was going through some past Taste of Home magazines I saw this recipe of interest and it includes the next ingredient.....TARRAGON!  Just found...have not tried.

Weeknight Chicken Chop Suey

4 teaspoons olive oil

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes

1/2 teaspoon dried TARRAGON

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 1/2 cups chopped carrots

1 cup unsweetened pineapple tidbits, drained

1 can (8 oz) sliced water chestnuts, drained

1 tart medium Apple, chopped

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup cold water, divided

3 tablespoons unsweetened pineapple juice

3 tablespoons reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce

2 tablespoons cornstarch

3 cups hot cooked brown rice

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat.  Add chicken, herbs and zest; sauté until lightly browned.  Add next five ingredients.  Stir in 3/4 cup water, juice and teriyaki sauce, bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until chicken juices run clear and carrots are tender, 10-15 minutes.

Combine cornstarch and remaining water.  Gradually stir into chicken mixture.  Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about two minutes.  Serve with rice.

NEXT INGREDIENT .... BACON

[Zhills]

BROWN SUGAR BACON ROASTED SWEET POTATOES

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 3/4″ cubes
5 strips of bacon, diced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup brown sugar + more for sprinkling

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil.

In large bowl add your sweet potatoes and olive oil and toss to coat.

Add in your bacon and brown sugar and again toss to coat and distribute your bacon.

Lay your ingredients on the baking sheet.

Roast in oven for about 30-35 minutes or until sweet potatoes are fork tender.
 

These are so good piping hot fresh out of the oven. However, they are still delicious reheated.

I placed my recipe in the oven for 20 minutes at 250 to reheat.
