Ingredients for 4 servings
For the meatballs
1-pound ground pork
1 clove minced garlic
1 egg
Salt
Freshly ground black
pepper
1 tablespoon minced
jalapeno pepper
For the sauce
1/4 cup of fresh
orange juice
The grated peel of 1
orange
2 tablespoons of olive
oil
2 tablespoons of soy
sauce
1 tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon of minced
fresh cilantro
Preparation
In a bowl, mix the
meat, egg, garlic, jalapeño and season with salt and pepper.
With your hands form
about 12 meatballs and place on a plate and put them in the refrigerator.
In a bowl mix the
juice and grated orange peel, honey and soy sauce and reserve.
In a frying pan on
medium high heat, add the olive oil and when it is hot put the meatballs and cook
for about 2 minutes.
Being careful not to
break the meatballs, flip them and add the orange and honey sauce. Cook for 2
minutes.
Reduce the heat and
simmer for another minute.
Remove the meatballs
from the skillet, and stir with a spatula so the sauce keeps the flavor.
Put the sauce over the
meatballs and sprinkle with cilantro.
Serve immediately.
