Easy Curry Rice & Impossible Meatballs

Being back in school means I don’t always have time to get fancy in the kitchen. Sometimes I need a quick and easy meal that I can put together in about 30 minutes. As much as I love experimenting in the kitchen with new ingredients. A mountain of assignments that need completing by their due dates takes priority. There’s always grabbing a bite to eat, but that adds up over time. Also, dining out isn’t always the healthiest. On the days when I need to throw something together quickly one of the recipes I turn to is easy curry rice. When I want to make it a meal I make some impossible meatballs to go with it.

Both dishes are easy to cook and make great leftovers. The Impossible Burger is a great vegan substitute for burger meat. These impossible meatballs are juicy and packed full of flavor and if you like a little spice, you can always leave the seeds of the jalapeno. The easy curry rice is packed full of flavor and pairs perfectly with the Impossible meatballs. So, if you’re looking for a quick last-minute meal then give this easy curry rice and Impossible meatballs a try.
