Hawaiian Meatballs
Hawaiian Meatballs
This is an easy enough recipe, it is just a 2-step recipe, combine all the ingredients, and bake. Â I like to serve this with coconut basmati rice.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound ground beef
- 10 strips pre-cooked bacon
- 2 ounces soy sauce
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple and/or pineapple chunks, without juice
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoons fresh ground ginger or 1 teaspoon dried ground ginger
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 350F
- In a food processor blend the bacon, cilantro, salt, pepper, pineapple and soy sauce.
- Add to the meat and panko bread crumbs last.
- roll into 1 to 1 ounce balls by hand (30-45 grams each, it might vary due to added ingredients, etc.)
- Put into a mini muffin nonstick tin and bake for at least 15 minutes, then turn them over to cook on the other side so the browning is even. Â If it is too brown, remember, this is just the sugar in the pineapples and juice, they are not necessarily burnt, but 30 minutes is about the right cooking time. Â They should look like the color in this photo below.
