Asian Beef Meatballs

Description

A recipe for Asian Beef Meatballs

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

2 tablespoons minced green onion

2 tablespoons minced salted peanuts

2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

Tangerine Dipping Sauce (see recipe)

Preparation

Heat oven to 400°F. Combine ground beef, green onion, peanuts, soy sauce, cilantro, garlic and ginger in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 28 (1-1/4- inch) meatballs. Place on rack in broiler pan. Bake in 400°F oven 13 to 14 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness, or until no longer pink in center and juices show no pink color. Serve with Tangerine Dipping Sauce.

Wine Notes: The jammy, spicy fruit of Sutter Home Zinfandel marries nicely with the tangy citrus sauce in this dish. But if you prefer a white wine, light, crisp Sauvignon Blanc pairs perfectly with spicy foods and will tame the hint of heat.
