Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs
  • 1 pound Ground Pork Substitute with ground chicken or turkey if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons Jerk Seasoning Use store-bought or homemade.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Minced for flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger Freshly grated.
For the Sauce
  • 1 can Coconut Milk Opt for high-quality brands for best texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Curry Powder Jamaican-style is recommended.
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Use for browning meatballs.

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • baking sheet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, jerk seasoning, minced garlic, finely sliced scallions, and freshly grated ginger. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Form into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Once shimmering, place the meatballs in the skillet and cook for about 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and pour in the coconut milk. Stir in the curry powder and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  4. Return the browned meatballs to the skillet and gently spoon sauce over them. Let simmer for another 10–12 minutes until meatballs reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
  5. Serve the meatballs warm over jasmine rice or vegetables, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley.
