Ingredients (20 servings)
MetricImperial
500g ground pork and veal
1 small zucchini
1 small carrot
1/2 onion
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
Glaze
4 tbsp Sriracha
3 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp soy sauce
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil.
- Put zucchini, carrot and onion in a food processor and process until very fine.
- Transfer vegetables to a big mixing bowl. Add pork/veal mix, salt and white pepper, and mix until combined.
- Take 1 spoonful of mixture and roll into a ball (around the size of a golf ball) using your hands. Transfer to lined baking tray.
- Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
- Bake meatballs for 40 minutes or until cooked through.
- While the meatballs are baking, make your glaze by combining all ingredients for the glaze in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 2-3 minutes in 30 second intervals, stirring every pause, until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove meatballs from oven. Let cool slightly and brush all of them with the Sriracha glaze.
- Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables. Enjoy!
Notes
- You may use chicken or turkey mince instead of pork/veal if you wish.
- Feel free to change the amount of Sriracha to adjust the level of heat to your preference.
- You may substitute honey with your favorite sweetener to make this sugar-free!
