Glazed Meatballs
Ingredients:
For the Meatballs:
500g ground beef or chicken
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup chicken or beef broth
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
For Garnish:
Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Form the mixture into medium-sized balls.
2. Cook the Meatballs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the meatballs until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to a baking dish.
3. Make the Glaze: In the same skillet, combine the broth, soy sauce, and honey. Bring to a simmer, then add the cornstarch slurry while stirring continuously until the glaze thickens.
4. Bake the Meatballs: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the glaze over the meatballs in the baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked and the glaze coats the meatballs.
5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the meatballs with fresh parsley and serve warm.
