Ingredients

4 servings

For the meatballs

1 lb ground chicken
3 tbsp cassava flour
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 tbsp coconut aminos
Ingredient note
Coconut aminos is a common stand-in for soy sauce on a candida diet. It does carry a little sugar from coconut sap, but this recipe uses only about 2 1/4 teaspoons per serving, which is likely fine.
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp salt

For the curry

1 tbsp coconut oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 stalk lemongrass, tough outer layers removed, tender inner stalk minced
1 tsp turmeric
½ tsp ground ginger
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 cup bone broth
2 tbsp coconut aminos
Ingredient note
Coconut aminos is a common stand-in for soy sauce on a candida diet. It does carry a little sugar from coconut sap, but this recipe uses only about 2 1/4 teaspoons per serving, which is likely fine.
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into half-moons
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste

For serving

¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly torn (optional)
2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional)
lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, cassava flour, minced garlic, grated ginger, cilantro, coconut aminos, turmeric, and salt. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork. Roll into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter (you should get 18–20 meatballs) and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
