I’m excited to share a unique dish that perfectly combines sweet and savory flavors, making it an ideal choice for any special occasion or cozy dinner at home. These savory cranberry meatballs are a delightful twist on a classic appetizer, sure to impress your guests or simply treat yourself to a delicious meal.

Ingredients:

• 500g ground beef
• 100g breadcrumbs
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 1 egg
• 200g cranberry sauce
• 30ml soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• baking sheet
• skillet
• spatula
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are well combined. Shape the mixture into small meatballs and place them on a baking sheet.

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides. This will take about 8-10 minutes. While the meatballs are cooking, mix the cranberry sauce and soy sauce in a small bowl.

Once the meatballs are browned, pour the cranberry sauce mixture over them in the skillet. Stir gently to coat the meatballs with the sauce. Transfer everything to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.

Tip:

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme to the meatball mixture before shaping them. This will elevate the dish and add a fragrant touch to each bite.

After baking, remove the meatballs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These savory cranberry meatballs are best enjoyed hot, garnished with additional cranberry sauce and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

This recipe yields approximately 20 meatballs, with each serving weighing around 50g. One serving of these savory cranberry meatballs is estimated to be around 150 calories.

I encourage you to give this unique recipe a try and make it your own by experimenting with different herbs or spices. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors in these savory cranberry meatballs!
