Recipe - Indonesian Beef-Coconut Balls

1 pound Lean ground beef
One half cup Grated fresh coconut
2 lg Eggs; beaten
One fourth cup Onion; finely chopped
2 Cloves garlic; minced
1 teaspoon Ground coriander
1 teaspoon Brown sugar
One half teaspoon Salt
One fourth teaspoon Ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon 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
1518 minutes or till done. Drain. Serve warm with Coconut and Peanut
Butter Sauce. Makes 48.
