Instructions

Chutney: In blender, mix together mango, cilantro and chili powder until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Meatballs: Remove tough outer layers of lemongrass and trim woody tops; slice thinly.

In blender or food processor, mix together lemongrass slices, prunes, cilantro, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and hot pepper sauce until smooth; mix together prune mixture, beef, bread crumbs and sesame seeds. Season with salt and pepper; mix until combined. Roll into 24 meatballs.

Heat peanut oil in skillet set over medium-high heat; cook meatballs, in batches if necessary, for 3 to 5 minutes or until browned all over. Reduce heat to medium; cook for about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with chutney for dipping.

Tip: Season the chutney to taste – with additional chili powder and fresh cilantro.
