6 medium carrots

355 ml chicken or vegetable broth

1 small bunch cilantro

0.68 kg green beans

177 ml heavy whipping cream

1.02 kg lean ground pork

1 ½ limes

⅓ cup shredded unsweetened coconut

black pepper

cinnamon, ground

coriander, ground

extra virgin olive oil

garlic powder

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim green beans and divide between two baking sheet pans.

Peel, trim, and quarter carrots lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 3-inch long pieces; add to the baking sheets with the green beans. Drizzle veggies with oil and season with spices; toss to combine and spread out in an even layer.

Place baking sheets in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and roast, tossing halfway through, until veggies are fork-tender, 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, place pork, coconut, and spices in a large bowl; using your hands, mix well to combine.

Using a tablespoon measure, form the pork mixture into rounded meatballs and place on a plate.

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom; working in batches if necessary, add meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, 6-8 minutes.

Meanwhile, shave cilantro leaves off the stems; discard stems and mince the leaves.

When the meatballs are done, add broth, cream, and cilantro to the pot, then bring sauce to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly and coats meatballs, 4-5 minutes more.

Juice limes into the pot, stir to combine, and remove from heat.

To serve, divide veggies, meatballs, and sauce between plates or bowls. Enjoy!
