Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, minced garlic, Thai red curry paste, chopped green onions, fresh basil, Swerve sweetener, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined, then form into 1.5-inch meatballs.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the meatballs in the skillet and brown them on all sides until cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Set the meatballs aside and drain any excess oil.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Melt the butter and sauté the chopped onion until softened, approximately 3 minutes. Add the red bell pepper and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the coconut milk, Thai red curry paste, fresh lime juice, fish sauce, chopped basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk everything together and simmer until the sauce thickens, around 5-7 minutes.
  5. Return the sautéed meatballs to the skillet, gently tossing them in the sauce to coat. Heat through until warmed, about 2-3 minutes. Garnish with additional green onions before serving.
