Instructions
- If grinding your own meat, make sure there is enough fat in the meat. If meat is lean, add 1 tbsp olive oil to meat. Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit/180 degrees Celsius.
- Put ground meat in a bowl. Add milk, garlic, onion, salt, pepper and egg. Mix just until combined. Do not over mix. Add just enough breadcrumbs so meat holds together. A few tablespoons should be enough.
- Wet your hands. Take a tablespoon of the meat mixture and roll into a ball with one hand. Place balls on baking sheet. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup. Bake meatballs in heated oven for 15 minutes.
- To make the sauce, put all of the below ingredients in a pan – Orange juice, water, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, ketchup, sriracha and brown sugar. Stir and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to simmer. Add cooked meatballs to sauce. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until sauce is reduced. Turn flame off and serve with toothpicks.
