Place a sheet of grease proof paper, greasy side up on a flat tray. Drain the pineapple, keeping the juice in a small bowl. Brown the coconut over a gentle heat in a non-stick fry pan for 5-10 minutes &#8211; stir constantly and watch it doesn&#8217;t burn. Set aside in a wide, shallow bowl when done. Mix together the mince, shallots, chilli, garlic, spices, soy sauce, salt, pineapple and eggs. Roll the mixture into balls using a tablespoon to gauge the size. Next, dip each ball into the pineapple juice and then roll it in the coconut. Place on the tray.<\/p>\n<p>Bake for 30 minutes or until the largest one is done. Serve immediately otherwise place each ball on a wire rack to cool. Serve either alone as a snack, or with fresh, steamed vegetables such as asparagus and broccoli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sweet and sour taste sensation!
