Meatballs with Spicy Fruit Sauce Recipe
Meatballs can be prepared in advance, and before serving, pour the sauce and warm up in a preheated oven for 5-8 minutes. Very tasty sauce! It smells of orange, vanilla and nutmeg. I doubted whether it was worth adding vanilla, but I added it and did not lose. I didn’t boil the sauce, just brought it to a boil, and then poured it over the meatballs.

Instructions
  1. Peel and finely chop the onion.
  2. Put the minced meat in the bowl of a blender and add the onion, chop.
  3. After grinding, the minced meat will become much softer and tastier, and you will not see onions.
  4. Beat the chicken egg lightly with a fork.
  5. Add minced meat, ketchup, seasoning, salt and pepper to the egg mixture, mix well.
  6. Preheat the oven to 175 °C. Cover the baking sheet with parchment or silicone mat, lubricate with sunflower oil. Add breadcrumbs to the meat mixture in small portions (1 tablespoon each).
  7. We get a thick, “dense” dough, slightly sticky to the hands. Let the dough brew a little (10 minutes) and roll in breadcrumbs. The dough will turn out even “denser”. Therefore, do not clog the dough with extra breadcrumbs.
  8. With a wet spoon, form small meatballs (16 pieces). Roll the meatballs in flour. It is very good to take and shape the dough with a silicone spatula.
  9. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil or grease with silicone. Send the baking sheet with the blanks to the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are ready.
  10. While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. Grate the orange peel on a medium grater and squeeze out the orange juice.
  11. Frozen cranberries are washed with running water. Then put the cranberries in a blender bowl, add sugar and grind until smooth.
  12. After grinding, the cranberries are passed through a sieve. I’m not.
  13. In a small saucepan (1 liter), put the cranberries with sugar. Add the juice of 1 orange, 1 tbsp olive oil, tomato ketchup, 1 tbsp zest, a pinch of vanilla and a pinch of nutmeg, salt. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally. Bring the sauce to a boil and remove from the heat. Do not boil the sauce, it will lose both taste and color.
  14. Take 2 portion baking pans and brush with vegetable oil.
  15. Transfer the meatballs to a platter and pour the sauce on top.
  16. Before serving, preheat the dish in a preheated 180 C oven for 5-10 minutes and serve, garnished with herbs.
  17. Bon appetit!
