Exotic Meatballs Food

THE 45+ BEST MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Mix in all the meatball ingredients except butter and oil and mix well. Roll them into meatballs.
• Heat olive oil and 2 Tbsp butter in a skillet and place meatballs without crowding them and fry till golden brown on all sides. Plate them out and set aside.
• In the same pan, melt remaining 4 Tbsp butter. Gradually stir in flour to create a roux. Cook until flour starts to brown.
• Slowly stir in beef broth, mixing all those bits stuck to the pan into the sauce.
• Add in cream, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until sauce starts to thicken up.
• Add in meatballs. Simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
• Serve it over bed of mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley and lingonberry jam.

TWISTED BEEF KOFTAS (MIDDLE-EASTERN MEATBALLS)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl until well-blended (using your hands works best).
• Form golf-ball sized meatballs from the mixture and place, without touching, on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake until slightly browned and cooked through (approximately 20-25 minutes).
• Serve 'em up hot! (See Recipe Description for Suggestions).

DELICIOUS MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Spray baking sheet with PAM.
• Put celery, bell pepper, egg, oil, and milk (or liquid) in blender (or food processor) and process until vegetables are finely chopped.
• In a large bowl mix together meats, oats, seasonings, Parmesan cheese, and blender concoction then gently knead until uniform in texture.
• Take a little of the mix and cook it in a skillet on the stove so you can taste it to see if it needs more seasoning. Happy with that? Then proceed to the next step --.
• Roll all the mix into balls and line them up on the baking sheet (they will shrink so it's okay if they touch). To make the balls I like to use an ice-cream or cookie scoop (depending on the size I want), it makes the job easier. Also, use a baking pan with sides, such as a jelly-roll pan or cake pan, because these are juicy little balls and I don't want you set the oven on fire with meatball juice!
• Bake 30 minutes (or until no longer pink inside).
• Remove from oven and cover with foil for about 15 minutes - don't drain off the juices because the little balls will suck it all up. Alternatively, you can transfer meatballs right out of the oven into a pan of simmering sauce of your choice.
• The meat mixture can also be formed into patties and fried in a pan on the stove like you would a burger (use cooking spray or oil in the pan).
• Serve with some kind of sauce - bar-b-que, pasta sauce, creamy mushroom sauce, or just plain old gravy.
• NOTE: these freeze very well so I frequently make a double batch and freeze some in quart size freezer bags.
