Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 large onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Oil (for baking)
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instruction

  • Make the meatballs: Place all ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl. Using a mixer with the hook attachment, mix well until everything sticks together and the vegetables and cilantro are evenly distributed. Shape into 1.5 teaspoons sized balls and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes (optional, to retain a better shape).
  • Bake the meatballs: Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). Bake the meatballs for 10-12 minutes, or until no longer pink in the middle.
  • Make the sauce: While the meatballs are freezing and baking, make the sauce. Place all ingredients for the sauce into a measuring jug and whisk very well. Place in a skillet and bring to a boil. Simmer until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Finish the dish: Place the baked meatballs into the hot sauce and gently toss. Serve immediately.
