These little meatballs, coated in a honey-garlic glaze are an excellent appetizer. They are small enough to serve on a toothpick and the glaze keeps them moist without dripping everywhere. The garlic and honey are great balance of flavors. After having them at the MenUmen dinner, I tried them at home. I took a short cut and used the glaze on frozen meatballs, but would make them from scratch next time. It's easy to do and only has a few common ingredients.
Honey-Garlic Glazed Meatballs
by Jason Spindler, attorney
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons salt
2 pounds ground beef
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
In a large bowl, combine eggs and milk. Add the bread crumbs, onion and salt. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-in. balls. Place on greased racks in shallow baking pans. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute garlic in butter until tender. Stir in the ketchup, honey and soy sauce. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain meatballs; add to sauce. Carefully stir to evenly coat. Cook for 5-10 minutes. Yield: 5-1/2 dozen.
