ingredients

2 lbs ground pork
2 teaspoons ground pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
2 teaspoons ground ginger
4 garlic cloves, minced
¹⁄₂ white onion, finely chopped
1 lime, juiced
¹⁄₂ cup basil, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
¹⁄₂ tablespoon soy sauce
TOPPINGS
2 large carrots, trimmed peeled
3 jalapenos
1 cup cilantro, leaves removed
1 ¹⁄₂ fresh French baguettes
SAUCE
¹⁄₄ cup plain Greek yogurt
¹⁄₂ lime, juiced
2 teaspoons sriracha sauce

directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Mix the meat with the spices, garlic, onion, lime, basil, hoisin and soy sauce until evenly distributed. Roll the meatballs into 1 inch diameter meatballs.
Place in multiple glass baking dishes making sure the meatballs do not touch. Cook until done all the way through (20 minutes).
While the meatballs are cooking, thinly slice the jalapeno and using a vegetable peeler, make thin ribbons of carrot.
In a small bowl, mix yogurt with sriracha sauce and lime juice.
Cut the baguette into approximately 6 inch pieces. The full baguette should be 4 pieces while the half baguette should be two pieces. Cut those pieces in half horizontally.
When meatballs are done, remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Just before the 5 minutes are done, use 1/6 (approx. 1 tbsp) of yogurt sauce to spread on each baguette piece.
Place slices of carrot, jalapeno and some cilantro on inside bottom of baguette. Place 3 meatballs on top. Repeat for each sandwich.
Serve immediately.
