Teriyaki Meatballs


From The Fannie Farmer Cookbook, The Art of Wok Cooking, and a suggestion from Frederic Dadoun

Pre-heat oven to 325° F.

Mix thoroughly:

2pounds lean ground beef or turkey
1cup dried bread crumbs
2cloves minced garlic
4tablespoons finely chopped parsley
2beaten eggs
1teaspoon salt
1/2teaspoon pepper

Shape into small to medium size meat balls and place in a shallow baking pan and cook at 325 until they are dark brown (about half an hour).

While these are cooking prepare the sauce by mixing in a sauce pan or blender:

1cup pineapple juice
or 1large can of unsweetened pineapple, pureed
1/2cup brown sugar
4tablespoons soy sauce
2tablespoons peanut oil
1 1/2teaspoons ground ginger
1/2teaspoon salt
2cloves minced garlic

Simmer sauce slowly and add meatballs when they are finished cooking. The longer you simmer the meatballs the better the taste!
