Title: Indonesian Beef-Coconut Balls
Categories: Appetizers, Better home
Yield: 1 Servings

1 lb Lean ground beef
1/2 c Grated fresh coconut
2 lg Eggs; beaten
1/4 c Onion; finely chopped
2 Cloves garlic; minced
1 ts Ground coriander
1 ts Brown sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Ground red pepper
1/8 ts Ground black pepper

In Indonesia, meatballs usually are fried. We found this baked version to
be juicier and more flavorful, as well as lower in fat. Combine ground beef
coconut and eggs in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Form
mixture into 1" balls. Place balls on a 15x10x1" baking pan. Bake at 350F
15-18 minutes or till done. Drain. Serve warm with Coconut and Peanut
Butter Sauce. Makes 48.
