Still trying to eat less fat and of course,wanting big flavor and also needing to
feed the hubster meat at every meal.
I got to thinking about low fat meats
and thought of lamb, and what better
thing to make with lamb than meatballs,
so off my imagination went. I also
thought of pineapple because I am
always thinking of things to knock back
inflammation, so naturally, I thought of
Hawaii and thought I'd try some Hawaiian Meatballs.
I actually got lamb and veal to mix together, but these would be just as good with any meat; pork, turkey, chicken.....
Mix the meat together with minced garlic, ginger, basil, onion, red peppers and a
couple serranos. Add some bread crumbs (or cracker crumbs), then add some teriyaki
marinade. You want it pretty sticky if your are not using any other binder. Roll out
your balls and cook any way you want to. I sauteed them till almost done, then
removed them from the pan. I added some big chunks of sweet onion, red pepper
and pineapple to the pan and browned them up. Then I de-glazed the pan with
pineapple juice and some more teriyaki marinade to make a nice think sauce.
I put my meatballs back in to coat. Served this over
brown rice and a side of roasted beets.
