Saucy Sweet Chilli Meatballs
Ingredients
- 1 cup Selati Golden Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup (56g) butter
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- 2 tbsp soya sauce
- 1 tbsp chilli flakes
- 500g uncooked beef mince
- 2 tbsp BBQ spice
- 1 tbsp crushed garlic
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- Serving suggestion:
- Butternut salad
- Yoghurt dressing
Method
- Add the Selati Golden Brown Sugar, butter, tomato sauce, soya sauce, chilli flakes and ½ cup of cold water to a small pot.
- Simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring in 3-minute intervals or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Turn the heat off and allow the sauce to cool for 30 minutes; the sauce will thicken as it cools.
- *Chef’s Tip: Store the leftover sauce in the fridge to use as a marinade.
- In the meantime, combine the mince, BBQ spice, crushed garlic and mayonnaise in a large mixing bowl.
- *Chef’s Tip: Use any minced protein of your choice!
- Roll the meatballs into 22, 1 tablespoon-sized balls. Arrange the balls onto a tray until ready to cook.
- Heat a large oiled pan until hot. Lay the meatballs into the hot pan 10 at a time and cook for 3-4 minutes on either side or until they are browned and cooked through.
- *Chef’s Tip: Don’t overcrowd the pan or, the meatballs will boil instead of fry.
- Place the cooked meatballs into ½ of the cold sauce and mix until evenly coated.
- **Chef’s Tip: Freeze the meatballs in an airtight container and defrost when needed.
- Arrange the meatballs onto a platter before serving them alongside a butternut salad, yoghurt dressing and ENJOY!
