Рецепт Sweet-Sour Cocktail Meatballs
Sweet-Sour Cocktail Meatballs
These are my "famous" "Patti's Meatballs"! Everytime we have a party or a get-together, I am asked to bring these along. I have been making this recipe for years and we still never tire of them. I bought a Pillsbury paperback cookbook, "Winter Food for Friends" and have used several recipes from that book for appetizers and snacks. I hope you'll try them for your next party - I guarantee everyone will love them!
- 20 oz. can pineapple chunks, drained, reserving liquid
- 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 tsp. minced garlic
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1/2 lb. ground pork
- 1 small green pepper, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1-1/4 cups sugar
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. chicken-flavor bouillon
- 1 cup liquid (remaining pineapple liquid plus water)
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Measure 1/3 cup of reserved pineapple liquid; set remaining liquid aside. In a large bowl, combine 1/3 cup pineapple liquid, breadcrumbs and garlic; blend well. Add egg and ground meats and mix well. Shape into 1-inch balls; place on ungreased baking pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned and thoroughly baked.
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and bouillon. Add remaining sauce ingredients. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Add pineapple chunks and green pepper; cook until thoroughly heated.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer hot meatballs into serving dish. Add warm green pepper and pineapple mixture and mix gently.
