Simple baked meatballs to serve as an appetizer at your next party.
Serves: about 20
Ingredients
For the meatballs:
1 pound ground pork
¼ cup finely chopped fresh Thai basil or regular basil or cilantro
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon TABASCO® SWEET & Spicy Sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
For dipping:
½ cup mayonnaise
1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha
For serving:
Toothpicks
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients. Turn on the boiler and place a rack at the top of the oven. Shape the meatballs into spheres 1 inch in diameter and set on a baking sheet.
Broil the meatballs for 4 minutes, then use tongs to flip them over and broil another 4 minutes on the second side.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayo and 1 tablespoon of sriracha. Add more sriracha to taste, until you've reached the desired degree of spiciness.
Arrange the meatballs on a plate and stick toothpicks into them. Serve the sauce on the side.
